This is a much extended version of Michaels introductory chapter in When We Speak of Freedom (see below).
A new book of essays which provides a much needed liberal perspective on current politics. It brings together twenty-one writers on their particular specialist subjects. They include Ross Finnie on federalism, Sir Lawrence Freedman on defence, David Howarth on the constitution, Bob Marshall-Andrews on civil liberties, Sir Vince Cable on immigration, Andrea Coomber KC on prison reform and Gordon Lishman on community and non-conformity.
