Yes, Prime Minister (3)

This has been a pretty good year (so far!) for Prime Minister related reads with a total of 3 books and 2 new PMs – and both 20^th century for a change! I only have 1 more ‘new’ PM referenced in a pile of politics books (both actually biographies for a change too). But at least one of those won’t be showing up until next year now. I do, however, have several more coming on both Churchill and Chamberlin. But, overall, I think that reasonably solid progress is being made here. MANY more to come – I hope!
