In FIRST AMONG EQUALS Jeffrey Archer simply delivers what he's good at.Take four men who are highly skilled, talented and come out of a top university with high honors ready to influence the world around them.Now pit these men against one another in a political backdrop.You have the underlying theme of FIRST AMONG EQUALS.
Raymond Gould, Andrew Fraser, Simon Kerslake and Charles Seymour are the four men who are portrayed as brilliant, shrewd and with a certain high level of political acumen only found in Jeffrey Archer novels.Though these four men are from totally different backgrounds their ambitions are the same:TO INFLUENCE BRITISH POLITICS AND DO THAT FROM THE HIGHEST POSITION OF POWER i.e. THE POSITION OF PRIME MINISTER.
Archer gives the reader deep accounts of the working of the British Parliament through the lives of the four protagonists. It is little wonder that the book would appeal to all those interested in the political sciences. Archer, a Member of Parliament himself, is able to use his experience to the fore when it comes to providing the reader with a feel of the actual routine that is followed inside the House of Commons.
The four protagonists share their political passion with their wives and families and ultimately one of them reaches the position of ultimate power.
P.S: IF U ARE NOT INTERESTED IN POLITICAL CONCEPTS SUCH AS THE RUNNING OF A GOVERNMENT, THIS BOOK MAY NOT SUIT U..
