The Times - Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the Year An entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics - and the pivotal moments that got us where we are now. From Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had. 'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics' - Will Hutton Every few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word 'unprecedented' 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. Blending anecdote and analysis, Richards takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain - from the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher. Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting - and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure. 'Steve Richards is one of the shrewdest political commentators we have' - Andrew Marr, author of The Making of Modern Britain
