Synopsis
A "Who's Temporarily Who," of people who have been rewarded, usually for political loyalty, with a low-level British title. Presents half-page biographies of all 562 (living and dead) life peers created 1958-89, and 30 Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lords), along with such information as how much they inherited, their various addresses, and political affiliation (mostly), but does not (as does The Complete peerage ) pass judgement on the quality of their characters. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
