KlappentextVolume 3 of Peter Raina´s magisterial history covers the 1960s and draws on newly released documents. In astonishing detail, it traces new plans drawn up during the Macmillan-Wilson era to reform the House of Lords. This volume reveals the intricate thinking of those who wanted to make a bicameral system work in the age of modern party politics.
Zusatztext«Peter Raina has written a remarkable book about Lords Reform between 1960-69, those years were part of the long running discussions about the future of the Lords and they are brilliantly told in Mr Raina's book. For anybody interested in the History of Reform this is sensible reading.» (The Lord Carrington) «What a magnificent opus. From the start, I was gripped by admiration for [the] scholarship, mastery of the English language, and understanding of the British body politic! (...) As one who lived through it all - to have you bring out the differing climates of opinion - in the early 1960s to that of today - fascinating... [This] book is well described as magisterial.» (Sir Michael Wheeler-Booth, Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford)
