review 1: Contains an interesting review of the political landscape of Britain in the 1930s, I was well aware of Mosley's blackshirts but had never heard of the green shirts or the Social Dividend movement. Also, an interesting overview of David Lloyd George's role in the development of the modern political landscape is there and if you think that our politicians are dodgy, well, it's nothing new. For anyone interested in how we got where we are, I recommend this book.
review 2: I enjoyed it. I don't normally read non-fiction books anymore, if I'm being honest, preferring to get most of my information from online, so this was a bit of a change of scene for me. The author presented his information in a conversational (if you are having a conversation with a librarian) s... moretyle and it was a little more accessible than the average history tome. He gives a bit of a different spin on historical events that have already captured the public imagination, but fall prey to assumption, such as WWII. There were quite a few facts I didn't know about WWII and I'm a bit of a war buff. less
