McLean's research is excellent, his writing is polished and witty, and his cases are well selected to cover some of the truly fascinating moments of British politics ... From a scholarly perspective, there are some novel and interesting parts to McLean's work.

American Political Science Review

This engaging and original study, by one of Britain's leading scholars of rational choice theory, explores the course of British parliamentary politics over the last 150 years. McLean marries an appealing combination of social science and analytical narrative history to the great turning points in British politics - the Repeal of the Corn Law; the Victorian crisis of the Liberal and Conservative Parties; the Irish Question and Lloyd George's solution to it; the New Liberal origins of the welfare state; the politics of race and empire under Chamberlain and Powell; and the politics of 'there is no alternative' under Margaret Thatcher.

`Iain McLean's book is a magisterial examination of selected political quakes and tremors in modern UK history, the politicians who sought to precipitate or prevent them, and the rhetorical and heraestetical devices that attended their appearance. His work offers perhaps the most coherent and theoretically unified way of thinking about 'critical realignments' and other transformative events in politics enerally--but certainly in the important case of the UK.
