HarperCollins to unleash former PM Boris Johnson's memoir in October

HarperCollins is to publish former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s memoir, Unleashed, this autumn. The book, acquired in January 2023, will be published in the UK by William Collins on Thursday 10th October and in the US by Harper on Tuesday 15th October.

William Collins publishing director Arabella Pike said: "Unlike most top politicians, Boris Johnson is also a writer. His book Unleashed is compulsively readable, stuffed to the brim with serious reflections on his time in office but written with his charismatic trademark wit, his vivid use of language and stories galore. We are delighted to be publishing this autumn."

Johnson said: "I am honoured that HarperCollins is publishing my personal account of the huge realignment that took place in UK politics in the last 15 years—and what may lie ahead. So stand by for my thoughts on Britain’s future to explode over the publishing world like a much-shaken bottle of champagne."

HarperCollins described Unleashed as an honest, unrestrained and deeply revealing book by the politician who has dominated our times, "written in his inimitable style and shattering the mould of the modern prime ministerial memoir".
