Rezensionen

"This is a very valuable book, in part as it fills a huge gap in the research. ... this book covers a huge territory as it is, and given its achievement in presenting a series of complex situations with admirable clarity, it should become a core text on any reading list relating to UK culture and politics since Thatcher." (Jonathan Vickery, Democratic Audit UK, democraticaudit.com, January, 2017)
