Discover the fascinating story of one of Britain's most dramatic political moments. This gripping account of the 1936 Ross and Cromarty By-Election reveals how a routine parliament ary seat became the battleground for two Prime Ministers' sons locked in bitter rivalry. When Ramsay MacDonald's son Malcolm faced off against Randolph Churchill, the campaign descended into chaos, featuring King George V's death, hospitalised candidates, car crashes, and furious locals. With six children of Prime Ministers entangled in the contest, this is political theatre at its most scandalous. Rob McInroy's meticulously researched paperback captures an unforgettable chapter of history that mirrors the fractious politics of today. A must-read for anyone fascinated by British political intrigue and the personalities who shaped the nation. Paperback 280 pages. Approx: 15 x 21 cm.
