'this is a welcome collection of materials which are mostly out of print and not readily available' Political Studies 'refreshingly new ... The documentary survey is divided into four chronological sections and an introductory essay precedes each which analyses the period and context into which the documents fit. The authors also provide a general introduction and conclusion, which are informative and well-written. This combination of primary date and secondary analysis and itnerpretation works very well, and the book is worth purchasing for both elements.' John D. Brewer, Queen's University of Belfast, The Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics, Vol. 30, No. 1, March 1992
