Corridors of Power – C.P. Snow

Roger Quaife wouldn’t have been seen dead on an Aldermaston march. His was a lonelier ban-the-bomb campaign – waged from his seat in the cabinet and his office at the Ministry. His weapons were persuasiveness and a consummate skill in top-level diplomacy. And the stakes were far higher than a pair of blistered feet.

C.P. Snow sets his story in a world he knows well – the corridors and committee rooms of Whitehall.

Rarely has the manipulation of political power been handled with such authenticity and intimacy.
