The great and the good, the powerful and the feared end up, to misquote Enoch Powell, "lonely, bitter and alone at home". In A View from the Sidelines, Michael Shea offers a behind-the-scenes account of his years with presidents, monarchs, captains of industry, film stars, secret agents and their hangers-on.
