Viac o knihe

Focusing on the inner workings of the British government, Peter Hennessy examines the role of the Prime Minister and Cabinet dynamics through unique access to key politicians and newly declassified documents. He explores Prime Ministerial perspectives on critical issues such as nuclear policy, war planning, and international crises, spanning from Suez to the Falklands. The book culminates in provocative evaluations of each Prime Minister's effectiveness and proposes a redefined understanding of the premiership for the 21st century.
