How does this history of political agony illuminate our current age of upheaval?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo find out, journalist Phil Tinline takes us back to two past eras when the ruling consensus broke down, and the future filled with ominous possibilities until, finally, a new settlement was born. How did the Great Depression's spectres of fascism, bombing, and mass unemployment force politicians to think the unthinkable, paving the way to post-war Britain? How was Thatcher's road to victory made possible by a decade of nightmares: of hyperinflation, military coups, and communist dictatorship? And why, since the Crash in 2008, have new political threats and divisions forced us to change course once again?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTinline brings to life those times, past and present, when the great compromise holding democracy together has come apart; when the political class has been forced to make a choice of nightmares.
