Turning Points (häftad, eng)

<p><b><i>The Times</i> &ndash;</b> <b>Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the Year</b><br><br>An entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics &ndash; and the pivotal moments that got us where we are now.

From Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of <i>The Prime Ministers We Never Had</i>.<br><br><b>'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics' &ndash; Will Hutton</b><br><br>Every few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word &lsquo;unprecedented&rsquo; as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called.

In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the chaos into context. <br><br>Blending anecdote and analysis, Richards takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain &ndash; from the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher.<br><br>Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting &ndash; and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.<br><br><b>A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.

</b><br><br><b>'Steve Richards is one of the shrewdest political commentators we have' &ndash; Andrew Marr, author of <i>The Making of Modern Britain</i></b></p>
