Description
Six years have passed since the birth of the Liberal Democrats in March 1988. Under the leadership of Paddy Ashdown, a radical new third force is emerging in British politics. This highly informative history of the Liberal Party covers the period from 1900 to 1992. It ranges from the landslide Liberal victory of 1906 and the halcyon era of Edwardian Liberalism, to the diversions and decline of the inter-war years and the advent of the Liberal Democrats in the 1980s.
