Courage Avis

'Trust me: this is a fine book' Spectator 'The book tells us as much about Brown's own personal journey as it does about the courage of those he describes ... very moving' Guardian 'His approach is refreshing ... readable and intelligent' Sunday Times 'I'm steeped in Brown style. It's inimitable, and it's all over Courage ... His writing reflects his character: a ferociously clever and studious man' PR Week
