This is a fascinating resource for learning about the Prime Ministers of the UK, a subject in which I definitely find myself lacking. It's mostly photographs, with explanations included in captions where needed. The photographs give a clear insight into what it was like to be there, at that time and place. Highly recommended!

Really interesting potted history of Prime Ministers of the 20th century, together with important events that occurred during their term. Will assist in answering those relevant Pointless questions.

Excellent tool for my teaching, fascinating and well informed. The author has a wide knowledge of his subject and conveys the information easily. I would have no hesitation in recommending this publication to anyone with an interest in British history as an academic or lay person

Despite being a history teacher I’m ashamed to say I don’t know much about the UKs prime ministers. This wee book provides a great introduction to every Prime Minister since 1900.

Each profile is contains a photo of the PM, their key dates and a summary of their time in office. I’ve definitely learned a few things about PMs I thought I knew well and some of the things mentioned and I’ll definitely be looking further into some of the things I’ve learned, especially Baldwins role in the Simpson Scandal.

As the book is titled “Images of the National Archives” I expected more rare images, but the book is fascinating none the less.

I love books like this one and I have read a few books now that use the images from The National Archives and found them fascinating and this one was no different.

The book is not a long one to read in length as the focus is mainly on the mainly on the images which have captions where needed, and there are also some great extracts from the Archives too that focussed on some of the key issues and actions that came to light during their premiership.

I liked the addition of the handwritten comments that show their personalities and thoughts at the time too – quite enlightening. I knew a bit about most of those focussed on, some more than others with them having been in position during my lifetime and their actions affecting my parents, particularly my father during the Miners’ strike.

It is 5 stars from me for this one – it was a great book to read and I loved being able to read the stories of those who were actually involved with the great ship – very highly recommended!
