Críticas

"This is a study of the most controversial political issue in Britain since the 1956 Suez Crisis. It is also a magisterial examination of the workings of British politics and thrusts doubt upon pivotal scholarly assertions about the British political system....This is a landmark study that students of British politics should consult time and again. It is also a cautionary tale for American politicians seeking to solve major governmental budgeting problems."--The Review of Politics

Reseña del editor

Reviled by the public and disowned by politicians, the poll tax was the most celebrated political disaster in post-war Britain. This book tells for the first time the full and gripping story of the policy that toppled the century's longest-serving Prime Minister and brought grandmothers on to the streets in protest, and looks at what the episode tells us about the nature of British government.
