The Office of Prime Minister
The Office of Prime Minister
By Byrum E. Carter
Princeton University Press, 1956, 362 pp.

As the author, an American, notes, the office of the British Prime Minister has not received the attention that has been given to the American Presidency. In this useful study Professor Carter's aim, largely successful, is "to present an objective statement of what the Prime Minister does, and what is done to him."
