This is an open and frank account of how someone from a railway family in a small East Midlands town went on to become a Cabinet Minister serving in the Ministry of Defence as Britain conducted difficult and demanding operations in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq. It sets out his political career from his earliest days knocking on doors for the Labour Party through to his becoming a Euro-MP, an MP for eighteen years and a Cabinet Minister for almost ten years. It describes his careers as an academic, lawyer, politician and in international business, as well as his commitment to conservation and protecting the environment.

Geoff Hoon was a Cabinet Minister from 1999 to 2009 under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, serving as Defence Secretary for almost six years in the course of British military operations in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq.

He was a Member of Parliament for Ashfield for eighteen years as well as representing Derbyshire for ten years in the European Parliament. He has been an academic both in the UK and USA, practised as a barrister and has had a commercial career as Head of International Business for a global helicopter company.
