"They say the first rule of politics is never to resign. But in recent decades Britain's politicians have all too often failed - or refused - to cling on. This roaring dash through the most sensational political resignations of the past century charts the scandals, controversies and cock-ups that forced key players to quit" -- Provided by publisher.
