Against the odds, former steel worker Harry Perkins has led the Labour party to a stunning victory. Now he’s going to dismantle Britain’s nuclear warheads, bring finance under public control and dismantle the media empires.
But the establishment isn’t going down without a fight. As MI5 conspires with the city and press barons to bring Perkins down, he finds himself caught up in a no-holds-barred battle for survival.
Described as ‘the political novel of the decade’ when it was first published, A Very British Coup is as fresh and relevant now as it ever has been.
