Rowan Williams, New Statesman 'No one has voiced the anxiety of the progressive citizen with greater passion or power.' Kenneth O. Morgan, Independent Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

An insightful history of the UK over the last century and contrasts with other nations.
Details the rise of charismatic populism and it's gradual erosion of democratic discussion. Provided a nice focus for a lot of nebulous angry and frustration on my part.
