The book looks at three former heads of government who achieved the pinnacle of political power, fell from or relinquished power, and then-after a period in the political 'wilderness'-regained it. The book looks at three former heads of government who achieved the pinnacle of political power, fell from or relinquished power, and then-after a period in the political "wilderness"-regained it. By placing greater emphasis than that accorded by biographers not on their stay in, but on the time spent out of, high office, on the "interment" that preceded their "resurrection," the book will examine their fall and subsequent rise. The account relies on the latest interpretations, which in turn are based on recent archival and documentary evidence.
