Summary
Five years in the making, ‘Cameron at 10’ is the gripping inside story of the Cameron premiership, based on over 300 in-depth interviews with senior figures in 10 Downing Street, including the Prime Minister himself.
As dusk descended on 11 May 2010, David Cameron entered 10 Downing Street as the youngest prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812. He stood at the head of the first Coalition government in 65 years, with the country in dire economic straits following a deep financial crisis.
From the early heady days of the Rose Garden partnership with the Liberal Democrats to the most bitterly contested general election in years, ‘Cameron at 10’ highlights forty dramatic moments in an exceptionally turbulent period in British politics. The book contains all the highs and lows on the domestic front as well as providing revealing insights into the Prime Minister’s relationships with foreign leaders, particularly the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama.
With unprecedented access to the ‘inner circle’ of politicians and civil servants that surround the Prime Minister, from Chancellor George Osborne and former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to all of Cameron’s personal team, this is the most intimate account of a serving prime minister that has ever been published.

Critic reviews
"Explosive...authoritative yet uncompromisingly tough...a gripping and at times astonishing account of the people who rule us." (Mail on Sunday)
"These pages are a masterclass in so-called “tick-tock” narrative – a minute-by-minute account, studded with detailed recollections and observations...A formidable achievement...Magisterial...If I were Mr Corbyn, I’d get busy reading." (Matthew D’Ancona, Evening Standard)
"While Lord Ashcroft may have started a brief craze for pig jokes...The more interesting (and damaging) disclosures come in the other new book about him, Cameron at 10 by Anthony Seldon and Peter Snowdon." (Fraser Nelson, Telegraph)

Excellent but missing final Brexit Referendum chapter
A great telling of Cameron’s first term but I was really disappointed the Audible version did not include the additional chapter around the Brexit referendum that the authors included in the paper back version of the book - it’s a significant part of Cameron’s story.

Solid, detailed historical account.
Does what it says on the tin, with no messing around.
A well researched and factual historical account, but rather dry and matter of fact in tone.
I found it useful because it filled in a lot of gaps, and there was no partisan editorial voice to get in the way. A good listen, worth the time.

OK I agree, Cameron did better… I must be farrier… my weakness ..BUT..
Though ill judgment, against Camerooons heart, the fool took us out of Europe, where he knew there is our 30 years of wilderness… We’ve done 3… years.. Only 10% in and it’s not looking great… Edward Courage

Fascinating and fast paced
Great insight into some of the biggest political events of the coalition government, very easy to listen to, covers a wide range of topics and keeps you interested throughout.
Narration very good.
Would definitely recommend.

The narrator - OMG
NOT well narrated. Like listening to a satnav with some bewildering pronunciations - of names, places and even political parties. Weird intonation and use of emphasis.

A good, easy listen
Had good insight in to the Conservative side of the coalition government. Went to an emotional level of detail which was good. Did occasionally feel like it was a piece of pro-cameron propaganda. Could have been more balanced

good review of recent history
I'd forgotten what a self-regarding, preening guy he was; he seems to have screwed up quite a lot of things - Libya, Syria, almost losing the Scotland referendum, EU relations, the NHS etc etc. He was lucky that he was up against the wrong Miliband brother and had the Lib Dems to hold him back a bit. Its a good listen and is actually quite sympathetic towards David but the litany of one screw-up after another speaks for itself.

Great book about an awful PM
It was an excellent narrative. I did disagree totally with the authors. This man was a terrible PM who was lucky with his opponents
