| Summary |
The British General Election of 2019 is the definitive account of one of the most consequential and controversial general elections in recent times, when Boris Johnson gambled everything calling an early election to 'Get Brexit Done', and emerged triumphant. Drawing upon cutting-edge research and wide-ranging elite interviews, the new author team provides a compelling and accessible narrative of this landmark election and its implications for British politics, built on unparalleled access to all the key players, and married up to first-class data analysis. The 21st volume in a prestigious series dating back to 1945, it offers something for everyone from Westminster insiders and politics students to the interested general reader. Robert Ford is Professor of Political Science at Manchester University, UK. Tim Bale is Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London, UK. Will Jennings is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Southampton, UK. Paula Surridge is Senior Lecturer in Political Sociology at the University of Bristol, UK |
