Commentaire

PRAISE FOR DIRECTORATES: A cracking read ... The errors Coll catalogues are familiar. What Coll does, though, is present all this in far more detail than anyone before him. Some of the episodes he describes are darkly hilarious ... a must-read for anyone who cares about this never-ending war. Christina Lamb Sunday Times
