Reissue. 320pp, including index. Monochrome plate frontispiece. In speckled blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Upper text block edge a little dust darkened else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original paper dust wrapper, a little rubbed on extreme edges with some mild shelf wear visible on verso. A nice copy. Jenkin’s account of the struggle between the House of Lords and the Government in the first years of the 20th century, and events such as the People’s Budget, is gripping as well as insightful; his characterisation of leading figures in the battle for constitutional reform – Asquith, Lloyd George, Baflour and a young Winston Churchill – are sharp and precise. Widely recognised at the time of publication as a definitive account of these stirring and far-reaching events.
