political memoir
Statesman's personal history
A political memoir is an autobiographical account by someone involved in government or public affairs, covering their role in political events, campaigns, or administrations.
These books typically blend personal narrative with policy justification and historical interpretation: The former secretary's political memoir defended her controversial decisions.
They often appear after leaving office, serving purposes from legacy-shaping to score-settling.
