But  as factories closed their doors, dole queues lengthened and the inner  cities exploded in flames, would her radical medicine rescue the Sick  Man of Europe - or kill it off?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVivid, surprising and gloriously  entertaining, Dominic Sandbrook''s new book recreates the decisive  turning point in Britain''s recent story. For some people this was an age  of unparalleled opportunity, the heyday of computers and credit cards,  snooker, Sloane Rangers and Spandau Ballet. Yet for others it was an era  of shocking bitterness, as industries collapsed, working-class  communities buckled and the Labour Party tore itself apart. And when  Argentine forces seized the Falkland Islands, it seemed the final  humiliation for a wounded, unhappy country, its fortunes now standing on  a knife-edge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are the early 1980s in all their gaudy  glory. This is the story of Tony Benn, Ian Botham and Princess Diana;  Joy Division, Chariots of Fire, the Austin Metro and Juliet Bravo; wine  bars, Cruise missiles, the ZX Spectrum and the battle for the Falklands.  And towering above them all, the most divisive Prime Minister of modern  times - the Iron Lady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike its predecessors, \u003ci\u003eWho Dares Wins\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich mixture of political narrative and social reportage. \u003cb\u003eIt is scholarly, accessible, well written, witty and incisive. \u003c\/b\u003eIt fizzes with character and anecdote ...

Telling the story of Powell''s political life from the 1950s onwards, Paul Corthorn''s intellectual biography goes beyond a fixation on the ''Rivers of Blood'' speech to bring us a man who thought deeply about - and often took highly unusual (and sometimes apparently contradictory) positions on - the central political debates of the post-1945 era: denying the existence of the Cold War (at one stage going so far as to advocate the idea of an alliance with the Soviet Union); advocating free-market economics long before it was fashionable, while remaining a staunch defender of the idea of a National Health Service; vehemently opposing British membership of the European Economic Community; arguing for the closer integration of Northern Ireland with the rest of the UK; and in the 1980s supporting the campaign for unilateral nuclear disarmament.In the process, Powell emerges as more than just a deeply divisive figure but as a seminal political intellectual of his time. Paying particular attention to the revealing inconsistencies in Powell''s thought and the significant ways in which his thinking changed over time, Corthorn argues that Powell''s diverse campaigns can nonetheless still be understood as a coherent whole, if viewed as part of a long-running, and wide-ranging, debate set against the backdrop of the long-term decline in Britain''s international, military, and economic position in the decades after 1945.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Corthorn must be thanked for providing such a clear, multi-faceted analysis of an extremely complex political figure, acknowledging very evidently his most striking contradictions, some of which Powell himself was aware of, for he 'almost made specific arguments that he knew did not quite add up' * Olivier Esteves, Université de Lille, Journal of Contemporary History *\u003cbr\u003eEnoch Powell remains the single most controversial politician in modern British history. Yet more than half a century after his most incendiary speech, his influence is arguably greater than ever. In this splendidly learned, astute and provocative study, Paul Corthorn invites us to look more closely at what Powell said and believed. With scrupulous care and attention to detail, he examines the roots and legacy of Powell's ideas, both placing him in his historical context and exploring his afterlives in British politics. Mercifully free from academic jargon and armchair moralising, this is a gripping and colourful read and a model of historical scholarship. * Dominic Sandbrook, author of State of Emergency: The Way We Were: Britain, 1970-1974 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1: International Relations 2: Economics 3: Immigration 4: Europe 5: Northern Ireland 6: Conclusion Index","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732776202583,"sku":"9780198747154","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"the-enemy-within-a-tale-of-muslim-britain-9780241276037","title":"The Enemy Within A Tale of Muslim Britain","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow with a new paperback introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Vital reading'' \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''It turns conventional wisdom on its head'' Peter Oborne\u003cbr\u003e''Uniquely insightful'' \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Eloquent, calm and clever'' Andrew Marr\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBritain has often  found groups within its borders whom it does not trust, whom it feels  have a belief, culture, practice or agenda which runs contrary to those  of the majority.

They take us from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro, to Bosnia, Myanmar, South Africa and Japan; and they inform his answer to its guiding question. For Ignatieff, the ideology of human rights has fallen short. What sustains the fragile flourishing of global cities and diverse communities is not faith in human rights but the ‘ordinary virtues’ of tolerance, forgiveness, resilience and trust, made possible by adequate maintenance of the rule of law. The ordinary virtues are an open-source operating system, a moral vernacular by which members of different ethnic and religious groups are able to live, if not together, then side by side. -- Kieran Setiya * Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003eMakes for illuminating reading. -- Simon Winchester * New York Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e[An] admirable little book. -- James Traub * New York Times Book Review *\u003cbr\u003eIgnatieff combines powerful moral arguments with superb storytelling.

At a time of much confusion, paralysis, and despair, few hands on the global tiller are as sure as those of Ignatieff. -- Samuel Wells * Christian Century *\u003cbr\u003eMichael Ignatieff has long served as a bellwether of liberal internationalism, and what he has to say is important in itself and a reflection of a temperament evolving in time.

It speaks to the moral dilemmas of our times in a language that grapples with the profound contradictions between the universal languages that many global elites speak and the ‘ordinary virtues’ of ordinary citizens that come to life in local contexts in local languages. It is not hard to extend Ignatieff’s reasoning to the contemporary crisis in liberal democracies in the developed world. -- Janice Stein, University of Toronto\u003cbr\u003eIn this extraordinary book, Michael Ignatieff travels across the globe to explore two apparently opposite things: what divides us from each other, and what enables communities of strangers to live side by side. He doubts whether a single legal, religious, or philosophical code can unite us. Globalization in our economies does not produce globalization in our hearts. He emphasizes the role of ordinary virtues, not grand principles, in guiding us through the maze of competing ideas and obligations. At a time when liberal and democratic principles are widely challenged, and funeral orations are being delivered prematurely for the international order that has lasted since 1945, this book provides a much-needed reminder that societies can, somehow, not just muddle through, but create a moral order of sorts that actually works. -- Adam Roberts, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003eMichael Ignatieff is an exceptionally distinguished historian, journalist, and thinker. \u003ci\u003eThe Ordinary Virtues\u003c\/i\u003e is an engrossing, creative, and elegantly written addition to his other excellent books. Considering a globalizing world troubled by terrible inequality, Ignatieff makes a moral argument by illustration, with sophistication enough for trained political theorists as well as a real-world engagement that gives the work heft. -- Gary Bass, Princeton University\u003cbr\u003eIgnatieff long has been seen as one of the principal theoreticians of human rights, a task to which he has devoted his career since reporting on the Bosnian Civil War in the late 1990s… He deserves praise for wrestling with the devolution of our moral worlds over recent decades… [In] \u003ci\u003eThe Ordinary Virtues: Moral Order in a Divided World\u003c\/i\u003e, Ignatieff betrays an admirable recognition of the poverty of our moral politics today. -- Patrick William Kelly * Los Angeles Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e[Ignatieff] has never been afraid to ask the big questions.

Dewey''s ''pragmatic'' principles are deployed to present democracy as a developing concept constantly confronting unique conditions obstructing its growth.

Alberta has written a compelling, alarming and scoop-heavy history of the fall of the party of Lincoln. American Carnage is filled with scoop. It is an exercise in a pulling back the curtain, not breathlessness.” — The Guardian  “A fascinating look at a Republican Party that initially scoffed at the incursion of a philandering reality-TV star with zero political experience and now readily accommodates him. [Alberta] brings more than a decade of reporting and a real understanding of the conservative movement to American Carnage.” — New York Times Book Review  “Alberta offers something more ambitious than a tale of palace intrigue.... The abiding theme of the book is that almost every influential figure in the Party has come to accept or submit to the President. Although Alberta is clearly not an admirer of the President, he is not unsympathetic to the voters who have embraced him and their feelings of resentment toward what they see as an increasingly liberal culture.” — The New Yorker  “One of the deepest and most fascinating reads about the transformation of the Republican Party over the last 15 or so years.” — Politico  “Mandatory reading for anyone who genuinely desires to know how we got to this point. It’s not a shooting civil war within the GOP or within the country at large. It’s not even 1968 or remotely close to the divisions that cleaved the nation during the Vietnam War and Watergate. But it is a serious divide.” — Washington Post  “Alberta argues that Trump won the presidency by channeling anxious Americans’ indignation and darker impulses. Trump’s challenge now, Alberta writes, is to turn a “freakish if not fluky” victory into a transformational redefinition of the GOP.” — Axios  “Now comes Tim Alberta, one of the best political reporters we have, especially on the internecine bloodletting on the political right, with a new book that details not only how the president stomped to the Republican nomination, but also the sordid calculations that allowed the GOP to make its peace with him.” — Esquire  “American Carnage isn’t an all-about-Trump book. It’s a book that reaches into the depths of the Republican Party and their relationship with the president.” — USA Today  “In this new book, American Carnage, by Tim Alberta, we are reminded about how so many who staked their reputation on principle caved to political convenience in this administration.” — CNN  “An eyes-wide-open analysis of right-wing populism.” — New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice  “A deeply reported account of internal Republican deliberations over the past decade. Alberta is admirably merciless as he shows his subjects abandoning their putative principles and falling in line behind Trump. (And the reporting is truly impressive — the scenes he reconstructs are both far more numerous and far more interesting than those in almost any “behind-the-scenes” reported political book I can recall.)” — New York  “An excellent book where Alberta uses the depth of his reporting to really bring the receipts and show the extent to which, until [Trump] beat Hillary Clinton, many of the people who are now his most loyal allies were deeply skeptical of his fitness for office.” — Vox  “Drawing on extensive interviews with politicians and pundits, Alberta’s engrossing narrative is full of sharp intrigues and vivid personalities....Incorporating trenchant analysis and a wealth of detail in stylish prose, Alberta highlights the broad currents beneath the chaos of recent politics.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)  “Alberta brings the receipts, and if nothing else, it’s a helluva portrait of how principles are traded for power.” — The Ezra Klein Show, Vox  “In American Carnage, his fascinating and exhaustive account of the path of the Republican Party in the past decade, Tim Alberta of Politico explains how the party’s leadership got so out of touch with its voters at the end of George W.
