Finest and Darkest Hours by Kevin Jefferys

When asked about the greatest difficulty of being Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan famously replied "events, dear boy, events." Kevin Jeffery's book is about the key events in British politics since the Second World War, how those moments influenced the years that followed them and what Britain might have been like had they not occurred. "Finest and Darkest Hours" ranges from Winston Churchill's accession to the premiership in 1940 through to the emergence of New Labour in 1994 - via the Suez fiasco, the Profumo affair, the three-day week, the winter of discontent, the Falklands war and Black Wednesday - to identify precisely just how significant these episodes really were.
