'Making the Weather' is the story of six post-war politicians, all of whom exerted an outsized influence on the political life of the UK: an influence greater than that of most prime ministers. Vernon Bogdanor's cast includes three from the political Left - Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan, Roy Jenkins, and Tony Benn - and three from the Right - Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph, and Nigel Farage. Each study is a fascinating analysis that examines how these men achieved such prominence and influence and how, though very different figures in many ways, they came to dominate the political landscape, often for a period of years. Each of the six made fundamental contributions to the debate about Britain's future and to the vibrancy of our democracy.
