Includes contributions from Tom Bower, Simon Heffer, Andrew Roberts, Anne Robinson, Roger Scruton, Frank Field and many more.
This book, friendly to Enoch, but critical too, provides excellent answers. Charles Moore, Daily Telegraph Greville Howard's fascinating collection of essays shows there was much more to Powell - than his views on race. Dominic Sandbrook, Mail on Sunday A superb set of essays. Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph Michael Forsyth's elegant chapter on the constitution quotes Powell's wonderfully cynical description of the true function of the House of Lords, for which it is almost worth the price of admission in itself - It is thought-provoking to read Enoch at 100 just after the Scottish referendum. Progress This collection of excellent essays paints a rather broader picture, of a politician driven by intellectual rigour and a clearly defined purpose. Choice This book goes a long way to explaining the enigma that was Enoch Powell. Good Book Guide
