摘要

在这本自传中，罗德尼·布鲁克爵士带我们回顾了他在英国地方政府工作40多年的辉煌生涯，给我们带来了各种有趣、深思熟虑、煽动性和令人沮丧的阅读体验。在布鲁克自己爬上楼梯的过程中，他记录了英国地方政府作为一个机构的衰落，并穿插了一些轶事，展示了地方政府的多样性和特质，这些特质使地方政府如此迷人，有时也很有趣。

Review: The Winding Stair by Sir Rodney Brooke

In this autobiography Sir Rodney Brooke provides a variously funny, thoughtful, inciteful and depressing read as he takes us through his illustrious career of over 40 years in English local government. Alongside Brooke’s own climb up the stairway, he chronicles the decline of local government as an institution in Britain, sprinkled with anecdotes that show the diversity and idiosyncrasies which make local government so fascinating, and at times entertaining.
