How Mumbo-jumbo Conquered the World by Francis Wheen
In 1979 two events occurred that would shape the next 25 years: the arrival of Margaret Thatcher and the restoration in Iran, by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, of a regime that had last existed over 1000 years before. The author explores the post-political era and the rise in relativism.
Francis Wheen is the author of the bestselling biography Karl Marx, a Guardian columnist and a regular contributor to Private Eye. He has written several books including the highly acclaimed biography of Tom Driberg MP, which was shortlisted for the Whitbread prize.
