Who Runs This Place?: Anatomy of Britain Revisited

By Anthony Sampson

Book Overview

Anthony Sampson has spent40 years dissecting the power-structure, with unique access to people at the top, to produce his best-selling "Anatomies of Britain. "Now in this intensely topical book, he surveys a much more troubled scene with more anger and impatience. He looks at the whole panoply of power, from an embattled Number Ten to the murky intelligence spooks, from corporate boardrooms to banks and pension funds. "Who Runs This Place?" is written not just for those inside the Westminster Bubble. It is addressed in fresh and vivid terms to those who need to understand the institutions and careers they are choosing, and the bosses who will influence their whole future. And it comes at a time when the British people are clamoring to comprehend the secretive groups that pull the levers, behind the facades."
