'Personalities & Politics' is a collection of essays on British politics by the well-known commentator Dennis Kavanagh. The author turns his informed and trenchant pen to such topics as the future of the Labour Party, whether Thatcherism is Convervatism, the rise and fall of consensus politics, the role of the monarchy and the timing of general elections. Particularly interesting are his analyses of Enoch Powell, Tony Benn and Margaret Thatcher.
