"The history that was made in Parliament and where in Parliament's five chambers; and the men who made it--Simone de Montfort, Guy Fawkes, Charles 1st, Oliver Cromwell; Walpole, the world's first 'prime' minister; murder in the lobby of the House; Disraeli and Gladstone (and Queen Victoria); the suffragette who threw a bag of flour at the prime minister; the abdication of a king. And, of course, Winston Churchill. Where Britain lost the American colonies; the men who lost them and a strange sequel. A special chapter for the American visitor. When a bomb lifted Coeur de Lion into the air and the day Big Ben went mad!"--Cover.
