The politicians discussed in this book, in particular the appreciation of the careers of John Bright and James Bryce, reflect obliquely or directly on the problems of politicians who seek the 'high moral ground' either in domestic or international politics. There is also a discussion of the relationship between politicians and the press, as well as of the difficult link between cultural and political assumptions on the one hand and the facts of economic performance on the other. 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1901-1910 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1910-1936 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1837-1901 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military 676 $a941 700 $aRobbins$b Keith$0170677 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806831203321 996 $aPoliticians, diplomacy and war in modern British history$94041874 997 $aUNINA
