Place reservation for The rage of party : how Whig versus Tory made modern BritainFrom vicious pamphlet wars and some of history's most corrupt and riotous elections through a revolution, multiple assassination attempts and enough scandals to make even the most louche modern politician blush, this brilliantly researched book shows how a motley crew of rakes, hypocrites, cunning tricksters and scheming clergymen engaged in not only in a political confrontation that threatened a second civil war, but a culture war that still finds echoes in 21st-century Britain.
