PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES
This is a collection of Brian Redhead's journalism, written over the last decade, in which he entertained his readers with his own highly idiosyncratic opinions, anecdotes and reflections. Brian Redhead brings a combination of outspokeness and humour to bear on great British obsessions, institutions and customs: the Welfare state, military bands, train travel, Bank holidays, opinion polls, charities, honours, pensions and urban development.
