Posh Boys: How English Public Schools Ruin Britain (Paperback)

'A timely intervention that asks all the right questions.' - The Guardian

'The latest in the series of powerful books on the divisions in modern Britain, and will take its place on many bookshelves beside Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race and Owen Jones's Chavs.' - Andrew Marr, The Sunday Times

'Does a fine job of reminding us how powerful a hold the elite schools have over public life.' - The Times

'An illuminating and hugely enjoyable read, packed full of eye-opening facts... At a time when the gap between rich and poor is widening, we need to talk seriously about the role of public schools in our society. Posh Boys is a welcome catalyst for that debate.' - The Sunday Herald

'In his fascinating, enraging polemic, Verkaik touches on one of the strangest aspects of the elite schools and their product's domination of public life for two and a half centuries: the acquiescence of everyone else.' - The Observer

'A trenchant j'accuse against the old-boy chumocracy... Posh Boys is, for a book about public schools, decidedly comprehensive.' - The Guardian
