188pp, central section of black and white photographic plates. Grey cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket has some shelf wear, light chipping to edges. Brilliantly vivid vignettes offering telling and often unexpected insights into the achievements, flaws and foibles of sixty public figures, past and present each of whom has contributed in decisive ways to British political, spiritual, and cultural heritage.
