A Very British Coup Zusammenfassung

A Very British Coup: The novel that foretold the rise of Corbyn Chris Mullin

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.

A delicious fantasy... crisply written and the story belts along * Observer *
A world of power struggle in Downing Street, Fleet Street, Whitehall and Washington * New Statesman *

Chris Mullin's book is the first for some time that I have stayed awake to finish -- Ken Livingstone * Labour Herald *
A curious Molotov cocktail * Financial Times *
Entertaining propaganda * Literary Review *
