Product Description
Review
'...for an introduction to the political lives of the 50 Prime Ministers from Walpole to Major (with an envoi on Blair), these elegant essays could hardly be bettered.' Country Life A well-written and handsomely illustrated tome, which includes short essays on each of the fifty-one premiers from Walpole onwards.' The Political Review This impressive, eminently readable tome fills a distinct gap and is to be warmly welcomed. All the entries show evidence of wide, thoughtful and up-to-date reading, and the authors have skilfully woven their findings into a coherent narrative with a succinct, accessible style. Their assessments and conclusions are unfailingly judicious and penetrating... The study succeeds in being comprehensive and detailed without being at all superficial. It is certain to appeal to academics, college and university students and the general reader alike and will undoubtedly stand the test of time.' -- Dr J Graham Jones, Senior Archivist and Head of the Welsh Political Archive, National Library of Wales. Journal of Liberal History Issue 53 Winter 2006-07. Concise biographies of the 50 men and one woman made all the more engrossing by their brevity... The ration of roughly 2,500 words allotted by Roger Ellis and Geoffrey Treasure is more than adequate to provide insight into the sort of individuals whose egos are large enough to persuade them they are fit to lead a country... There is an insightful preface by Lord Butler, who, having served five prime ministers, knows more about the breed than most.' This England
