Jonathan Lynn is celebrated for co-creating and writing the phenomenally successful British television series "Yes Minister" and its sequel, "Yes, Prime Minister." His screenwriting prowess extends to numerous feature films, where he also frequently directed. Lynn is also the author of bestselling books that delve into political satire and the mechanics of comedy. His works, often focusing on the absurdity of politics and human nature, have garnered widespread acclaim for their wit and keen observation.
This book, based on the award-winning British series, is filled with the same subtle, savage wit that so elegantly skewers the arrogance of the ruling class. "Should be required reading for every politician and/or government leader in America".--Washington Post. Illustrated.
