About this title

Synopsis

This book seeks to explore the nature of power in politics, how it is exercised and how it is tempered by chronology, by the machinery of the state, by personality and attitude, events and context. It examines the ebbs and flows of power within Government, influences on individuals and Governments themselves, the effect of changing attitudes and circumstances on the exercise of power.
