The Old Boys' Network Bewertungen

These diaries reveal beneath the serious public persona of John Rae a schoolmaster who got a lot of fun from the antics and the wit of his boys... an enjoyable read. * The Spectator *
Rae's revelations have the fascination to be found in an insider's account of the workings of an ancient and peculiar institution. * Sunday Times *
A remarkable expose of the dirty dealings that have given public school pupils an unfair advantage in winning Oxbridge places is mischievously offered from the grave * Oxford Times *
John Rae rejoiced in being an outside, a maverick and a source of irritation - but he was devoted to Westminster and he served it well * The Economist *
It is a mark of John Rae's gifts as an observer of human behaviour, an analyst of power politics, and an urbane prose stylist that this memoir merits the attention of any reader. * The Daily Telegraph *
