The Anatomy of Power. An Enquiry into the Personality of Leadership

London England: W. H, Allan. Hardback. Slight browning to pages through age. Small waterstain mark to bottom edge of spine of D/J. Slight browning to edges of D/J. James Margach, was uniquely qualified to tell us what the last twelve Prime Ministers were really like in flresh and blood, at the peak of their powers; he knew each of them well, both personally and professionaly during nearly fifty years as a political newspaperman, mostly for the Sunday Times. The Premiers have been grouped as they appeared to Mr. Margach in terms of the essential qualities which go to make up the elusive personality of leadership: luck, ambition, courage, vision and idealism, management, ruthlessness and cruelty. The author wal also an observer of another sort of power: that of the British Empire. In this entertaining and far-sighted book, he recaptures when Britain was at her peak of power and Westminster was the political centre of the world, its Parliament the greatest democratic assembly in the world. Finally, a fascinating section is devoted to the mystique, working customs and future of the Westminster media men and woman who are the outsiders operating as insiders in constant contact with government. This book is a book which will enhance our understanding of the past as well as give us a cloear and precise look at the power struggle for the immediate future. 164 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
