The power of politicians : a dialogue between Tessa Jowell and Frances D'Souza / edited and with an introduction by Claire Foster-Gilbert. - vii, 46 pages. - Haus curiosities .

"The moral and emotional demands on our political class are significant, exposed as they are to the corrosive effects of having to seek and retain power.
Anyone entering politics must confront profound questions to make sense of their individual role, and the institutional role of Parliament itself, in the face of public hostility and indifference. Through a candid conversation between Frances D'Souza and Tessa Jowell, The Power of Politicians gives fascinating insights into the workings of Parliament and Jowell's interior life: how she protected herself against moral corruption, what inspired her and what troubled her. The result is a masterclass in how to be a good politician." --
