Mission accomplished : things politicians wish they hadn't said (Updated, rev. and expanded ed)

It's amazing how often politicians' most public words come back to haunt them, and "Mission Accomplished" is a priceless treasure-trove of their verbal blunders, indiscretions, regrettable promises, about-turns, deceptions, lies...and just plain stupidity.

Ranging across the centuries and across the globe this salutary and hugely funny book comes bang up-to-date with all those immortal lines our leaders have made into classics.
