Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Backward is a study in contrasts. Essentially, the author paints a striking contrast between the two political administrations in Jamaica. According to the author, the People’s National Party is one that has created a society of fantasy and “better now”, without the means to achieve that better. On the other hand the Jamaica Labour Party administration has been one of discipline, order and positive development.

Running through the narrative is the comparison between the administrations of Michael Manley and P.J. Patterson and that of Edward Seaga. However, dominating the narrative is the picture that is painted of Edward Seaga, politician, statesman, visionary and achiever. Interspersed are the details of a number of national horror stories - Green Bay Massacre and Orange Street - as told by lawyer Kent Gammon.
