A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr

2.0

I feel mis-sold by the title of this book. More accurately it could have been titled "A history of 20th century British politics". Even this might be too broad in scope as it is primarily domestic and cabinet/mainstream politics discussed, as opposed to wider socio-political movements and influences. If that's what you're interested in, definitely read this book, it gives a good and at times mildly fascinating insight into the inner workings of the British political system and how it's changed over the last century or so.

Andrew does touch upon wider contexts throughout, which kept me reading, but never explores anything beyond the ins and outs of British domestic politics in depth.
