Reviews
'A searching and judicious survey of the Major years, showing how the Government's relentless drift to the right inevitably ended in electoral disaster for the Conservative Party. A scholarly and at the same time extremely readable book.' - Lord Gilmour
'John Major will always suffer because of his misfortune in coming after Margaret Thatcher and before Tony Blair. But his premiership lasted for seven years and deserves attention in its own right. This book should be warmly welcomed for providing a detailed analysis of the politics and the policies of the Major era which allows a proper assessment to be made of the Government's successes and failures, and helps to throw some light on the reasons why it all ended in such a catastrophic defeat.' - Andrew Gamble, Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield
'...convincing and well written...useful to students and more advanced scholars of this period in British history and of public policy in democratic states.' - Karl H. Cerny, Perspectives on Political Science
'This book provides a well-written and insightful account of many of the themes of John Major's policies and actions...It is written by insightful experts and will be of great value to students.' - Ian davies, Talking Politics
'...an important and timely volume which takes our understanding far beyond anything that has so far appeared in print.' - Anthony Seldon, Times Literary Supplement
