Burke's Shambles: Parliamentary Contempt in the Wild West by Anthony McAdam and Patrick O'Brien

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Some wear to front and back covers. Spine and pages are sunned.

The great Midland Abattoir scandal is more than another tale of skulduggery from the "Wild West". In its day, it was an international story.

This book sets out the full story on how deals were done, the businessmen involved, information that was suppressed, witnesses pressured and the Parliament subverted. (back cover)
