[Lady Elif]

A book that I use during my political Communications classes.

It has good humour and a lighthearted feeling that helps to introduce political undrestanding for Media students that are starting to think about the consequences of politics, spin and the way the day to day works in political media.

It was an ok approach of political communications in Britain.
