Reviews

'...an excellent book - well written and well researched...it is to be hoped that Kate Hudson's book will inform debate among academic and left circles now and in the future.' - Mary Davis, Contemporary Politics 'The author has packed a lot of information into just 220 pages of this book, but it is nevertheless a very fluent and informative read.' - Carolyne Culver, Tribune
