Corridors of Power (Signed)

C. P. Snow

Published by Macmillan, London, 1964

Corridors of Power is the ninth book in C. P. Snow's Strangers and Brothers series. Its title had become a household phrase referring to the centers of government and power after Snow coined it in his earlier novel, Homecomings. The story is concerned with the attempts of an English MP to influence the country's policy on nuclear weapons in the 1950s. The central character is Roger Quaife, an ambitious politician and Cabinet Minister. He is widely attacked for his stand on Britain's position in the thermonuclear arms race; at the same time his extramarital affair leads to potential blackmail. Lewis Eliot attempts to assist him in covering up the affair as he supports Quaife's stand on the nuclear question. This copy is near fine in red cloth with gilt titles on the spine.
