A concise, sharp-witted and illuminating account of the lives of Britain s prime ministers from Walpole to May, illustrated by Martin Rowson.
For the reader who has heard of such giants as Gladstone and Disraeli, and has drunk in a pub called the Palmerston, but has only the haziest idea of who these people were, Gimson s Prime Ministers offers a short account of them all which can be read for pleasure, and not just for edification. With Gimson s wonderful prose once again complemented by Martin Rowson s inimitable illustrations, this lively and entertaining aide-memoire and work of satirical genius brings our parliamentary history to life as never before.
