Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed

The first edition of these pamphlets, published for the Chatto Counter Blasts series, being a series of non-fictional works in paperback discussing themes of religion, politics, and social issues of 1989. 

Two volumes, being Jonathan Raban's God, Man and Mrs Thatcher, and Ruth Rendell and Colin Ward's Undermining the Central Line. 

Both volumes are signed by all three authors, Raban's to the title page, and Rendell and Ward's to the half title page. 

Jonathan Raban critiques the Sermon of the Mound: an address made by Margaret Thatcher on the Presbyterian Church of Scotland in May 1988. The speech proved highly controversial, with a clergyman even describing it as "a disgraceful travesty of the gospel." 

With the text of the speech included in the volume.

Ruth Rendell and Colin Ward's political tract discusses important issues regarding the government and its structure in six concise and thorough essays.
