History is often written by the victors, and they frequently write about themselves as well. Numerous books have been written about the UK's Prime Ministers, those who managed to ascend to the top of the greasy political pole, regardless of how brief or unremarkable their tenure. However, what about those who fell short? Leaders of the Opposition present themselves as the alternative Prime Minister, waiting in the wings, ready to take center stage. Many of them have indeed gone on to assume power. But many more have not. Who were these potential Prime Ministers? Why did they never reach the top job? Do they all deserve to be remembered as losers? In this often wildly entertaining anthology, Dr. Nigel Fletcher of the Centre for Opposition Studies brings together profiles of the opposition leaders who never made it to No. 10, from Charles James Fox to Jeremy Corbyn. Packed to the brim with odd facts, amusing anecdotes, and pub quiz trivia about each not quite Prime Minister, this compelling collection is a journey through British political history, bringing to life the figures from the other side of the political equation who had remained in the shadow of 10 Downing Street - until now.
