Reviews

'Jones' book provides us with a very detailed composition of the history of the liberals.It remains neutral throughout, does not digress from the subject, unpacks ideals with aplomb and without appealing to convoluted explanations, and is keen to address marginal internal voices as the ones we could name off of the tops of our heads. It's a splendid volumewhich I think could see a re-print in the years to come when Clegg's deputy leadership of the country comes to a conclusive close.' - Carl Packman, LSE Blog
