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 that examines 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 a period of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the six made fundamental contributions to the debate about Britain’s future and to the vibrancy of our democracy. From immigration to Europe, from the NHS to devolution, the issues and causes that brought these men to prominence are still of considerable contemporary relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43754174840876,"sku":"9781914979088","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781914979088.jpg?v=1724748426","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781914979088","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
