Vernon Bogdanor's cast includes three from the political Left--Aneurin \"Nye\" Bevan, Roy Jenkins, and Tony Benn--and three from the Right--Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph, and Nigel Farage. Each study is a fascinating analysis examining how these men achieved such prominence and influence and how, though very different figures in many ways, they came to dominate the political landscape, often for years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each of the six made fundamental contributions to the debate about Britain's future and to the vibrancy of British democracy. From immigration to Europe, from the National Health Service to devolution, the issues and causes that brought these men to prominence are still relevant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Bogdanor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haus Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914979088","brand":"Haus Pub.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446830596233,"sku":"9781914979088","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5e315225-2d38-44fe-9c66-a0284e3a3974.jpg?v=1741682454","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/making-the-weather-six-politicians-who-changed-modern-britain-9781914979088","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
