Tony Benn has been portrayed as both hero and villain, as a creative and as a destructive force. This comprehensively revised edition of Jad Adams s classic biography, is written with unparalleled access to Benn s private records, and describes the long and turbulent career of one of the most charismatic politicians of the last hundred years. The first biography to have been written with full access to the Benn archives chronicles the behind-the-scenes story of Benn s bitter battles with every leader of the Labour Party since Gaitskell. It details his service in the governments of Wilson and Callaghan, his role as a champion of the left during the Labout Party s long period in opposition, his retirement from Parliament, to spend more time involved in politics in 2001, and his subsequent emergence as a leading figure of the British opposition to the war in Iraq.

Paperback. Etat : Used: Acceptable. Paperback in average condition, creases to cover and spine, some tanning to page edges, insription on front page. After 40 years in the House of Commons, Tony Benn remains one of the UK's most controversial politicians. From 1951 to the Gulf War in 1991, Benn has staked out the high moral ground and challenged the Labour leadership to come with him. Benn's inheritance of his father's peerage gave him the first opportunity to battle against the constitution. The government refused to allow him to take his seat in the Commons, but he opposed them with grim tenacity until they changed the law. In the late 1960s he was the country's leading radical, arguing for a more open society. He was alone when he first argued for a referendum over Britain remaining in the Common Market, but within five years a referendum had become national policy, and Benn had achieved his second constitutional change. Jad Adams has won both Royal Television and British Press awards and is the author of "Aids: The HIV Myth". N° de réf. du vendeur 22701
