Аннотация

First Among Equals is the story Jeffrey Archer was born to write, with his detailed political knowledge and past experience as a member of Parliament. We follow the careers of four ambitious new MPs who take their seats at Westminster for the first time in the early sixties: all are high-flyers destined for great office. We watch their political struggles over thirty years, in government and in opposition, as their lives cross in the battle for power.
Raymond Gould, the Leeds grammar school boy born above a butcher’s shop, stuck with a small-town wife; Andrew Fraser, the son of a Conservative Lord Provost who joins the Labour party to capture his father’s seat in Parliament; Simon Kerslake, President of the Oxford Union, a career Conservative backed by his doctor wife; Charles Seymour, the ruthless Tory landowner who will stop at nothing to reach No. 10 — which one of these four men will become Prime Minister?
