Britain's leading contemporary historian revisits and exounds upon
the grand themes that have run throughout twentieth and twenty
first century Britain, including the abiding trends of the postwar
era - Britain's persistent impulse to punch well above its weight
in the world; the sustenance of a nuclear weapons policy which has
accompanied that impulse and the secrecy that has too often
concealed it; the contrasting styles and achievements of post-war
prime ministers from Attlee to Cameron; the successes and failures
of major constitutional reform. As importantly, in Distilling the
Frenzy a genuine heavyweight of British scholarship lays bear the
contemporary historian's art for all to see, exposing the fine line
between observation and felt experience, whilst incorporating
elements of autobiography that gives the book a poignancy thaat is
lacking in other grand historial works. This is the story of
Britain's century through the eyes of it's most celebrated
chronicler. A major work of our time.
