Making the Weather is the story of six postwar politicians, all of whom exerted an outsized influence on the political life of the United Kingdoman influence greater than that of most prime ministers. Vernon Bogdanors cast includes three from the political LeftAneurin Nye Bevan, Roy Jenkins, and Tony Bennand three from the RightEnoch Powell, Keith Joseph, and Nigel Farage. Each study is a fascinating analysis examining how these men achieved such prominence and influence and how, though very different figures in many ways, they came to dominate the political landscape, often for years.
