 'The most important book I've read this year' ADAM RUTHERFORD
 
 In 1975, as a child, Richard Beard was sent away from his home to sleep in a dormitory. So were Boris Johnson and David Cameron.

 In those days a private boys' boarding school education was largely the same experience as it had been for generations: a training for the challenges of Empire. He didn't enjoy it. But the first and most important lesson was to not let that show.

 Being separated from the people who love you is traumatic. How did that feel at the time, and what sort of adult does it mould?

 This is a story about England, and a portrait of a type of boy, trained to lead, who becomes a certain type of man. As clearly as an X-ray, it reveals the make-up of those who seek power - what makes them tick, and why.

 Sad Little Men addresses debates about privilege head-on; clearly and unforgettably, it shows the problem with putting a succession of men from boarding schools into positions of influence, including 10 Downing Street.

Now, with our government in crisis, it's time to ask if these are really the kind of men we want in charge?

 'Insanely readable and enjoyable' TOM HOLLAND, author of Dominion
