520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Exploring the extraordinary and sometimes pernicious social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over centuries. [this book] explains how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place and reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power and prestige. It examines the greed, ambition, jealousy and rivlary [that] drove local barons to compete with one another and aristocratic families to guard their inheritance with phenomenal determination. In telling their history, it introduces a cast of extraordinary characters; fierce warriors, rakish dandies, political dilettantes, charming eccentrics, outrageous snobs and criminals who got away with murder."--Book jacket.
