About This Item
London: University of London Press, 1958. First edition. Hardback. No DW. VG. No inscriptions or annotations. A splendid introduction to political thought. Parkinson was Raffles Professor of History at the University of Malaya but he made his fortune from his humorous books on serious subjects such as the absurdities of bureaucracy. This particular serious tome demonstrates that even when he was not writing deliberately 'funny' books he was nevertheless an eminently readable writer. His learned but iconoclastic survey from primitive man to dictatorship has in no way dated since its publication. .
