British Prime Ministers and Democracy From Disraeli to Blair

The erudition on display and Quinault's playful ability to allow his subjects to condemn themselves with their own words, are reminiscent of the work of Ben Pimlott, especially his excellent political character sketches. -- The Times Literary Supplement Quinault is by no means insensitive to context, and he is particularly attuned to the international influences on democratic debate... fun to read and brings together an array of interesting material. -- Reviews in History The [themes] provided in Quinault's book are always thoughtful and suggestive. His studies of individuals are often fascinating. -- Twentieth Century British History, vol 23, no 1, March 2012
