What to know more about the history of the Liberal Democrats, SDP and Liberals?

If so, then the new history of British Liberal politics, Peace, Reform and Liberation, is just the ticket. Launched at Liberal Democrat conference by Paddy Ashdown and Shirley Williams, it is a one-volume history of the Liberal Party and its antecedents.

Currents in liberal thinking are also explained, with the book including biographies of key individuals, election results and a timeline of key events. It starts in 1679 (with a chapter co-written by myself) and takes events right up to 2011.
