Peter Hennessy writes modern British political history about government, the civil service, prime ministers and the machinery of the state. Whitehall examines how central government works, while The Prime Minister studies the powers, habits and limitations of the office. Never Again reconstructs Britain in the years immediately after the Second World War, and Having It So Good turns to the 1950s, linking political decisions with social change. Hennessy's prose is informed, anecdotal and institution-focused, drawing on interviews, archives and insider testimony while keeping constitutional detail readable. His work fits British political history, constitutional government, civil-service studies and post-war Britain. Read more Less
