A Very British Coup

Against the odds, former steel worker Harry Perkins has led the Labour party to a stunning victory. Now he''s going to dismantle Britain''s nuclear warheads, bring finance under public control and dismantle the media empires. But the establishment isn''t going down without a fight. As MI5 conspires with the city and press barons to bring Perkins down, he finds himself caught up in a no-holds-barred battle for survival. Described as ''the political novel of the decade'' when it was first published, A Very British Coup is as fresh and relevant now as it ever has been.
