Summary:
Just after 10 oclock on Thursday, 7th May 2015, Nick Robinson stared down the lens of camera five in the BBCs Election Night Studio to explain to millions the significance of an exit poll that shocked the country and heralded an earthquake in British politics.
That moment was a personal milestone for the BBCs political editor, who had been discharged from hospital just hours earlier following weeks of treatment for cancer and the loss of his voice after surgery.
In the year leading up to that night, Nick kept a journal recording the events he reported on day after day to millions of viewers and listeners and which he continued to monitor, often from his hospital bed as he fought to get fit in time for election night.
This is Nicks behind-the-scenes account of his encounters with David Cameron, who many wrote off before the shock victory he called his "sweetest'"; Ed Miliband, who turned abuse and ridicule into respect before leading Labour to its worst defeat in a generation; Nick Clegg, who led his party into power and then to humiliation and near oblivion; Nigel Farage, who rose so fast and then fell at the final hurdle; Alex Salmond, whose public clash with Nick led to thousands protesting outside the BBCs Scottish HQ; and Nicola Sturgeon, whose stunning success as SNP leader has put Scottish independence back on the map.
The result is an extraordinary narrative, characterized by Nick Robinsons trademark insight, analysis and backstage gossip, of an adrenaline-fuelled year which culminated in a captivating election that transformed Britains political landscape.
