Caracteristici

This book will sell to the same constituency as Reeves' Women of Westminster, but also to serious history buffs - this is a major moment in British history with almost nothing written on it!

Notă biografică

David Torrance is a constitutional specialist at the House of Commons Library and a widely published historian of Scottish and UK politics. He has written unauthorised biographies of SNP politicians Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, as well as the biography of David Steel.

Recenzii

This lively and interesting book is based on an impressive amount of archival research. Combining engaging anecdotes and sound judgements, it provides a highly readable guide to a landmark historical episode.
In the nick of time, as its centenary approaches, David Torrance has rescued the first Labour government from the lay-by of British political history. With meticulous reconstruction and careful judgement, he shows there was more policy achievement in its precarious nine months of minority life than it has been given credit for. Civil war has always been Labour's special subject, but all the factions can agree on this - that David Torrance's story is a fine and fascinating piece of work with some intriguing parallels for our own times to savour and ponder.
Torrance's book is (and I don't think I have ever described a political history book in these words) riveting. It is a joy to read; it is highly illuminating; it is - to me - a revelation.
