Andrew Marr is a fine, lucid, honest and perspicacious journalist. He also writes a superb political history to try and explain how the British arrived at the present day, based on the events of the last one hunded years. Even though his views appear slightly right of centre (I may be misjudging him) he is scathing of all sides of the political debate, especially where inappropriate and wrongheaded decisions are made. It is easy to apply the retrspectoscope accurately but the number of times that political view overrides practical decision making is scary. Perhaps this book should be subtitled, "How to stumble along the edge of the abyss".
