Political memoirs form an accessible primary source for the political scientist, but there is considerable disagreement about their usefulness and reliability. Memoirs can be classified firstly according to whether their chief focus is the ethos, the doctrines, or the policy making of political parties, and secondly according to the principal means employed in their compilation - such as diaries, private and official papers, or personal reminiscences.
