Publisher Synopsis
'I was engrossed. Kenneth Morgan's superb portrait quickly takes shape...This is much more than another Labour biography. It is a portrait in bright oils of a master parliamentary literary-politcal agitator, in a society congenitally hard to rouse.' Prospect 'A joy to read, erudite, wry, sensitive and enlightening, packed with juicy items...from nearly a century of tumultuous personal, party and national events.' History Today 'Magnificent biography...Morgan has given us a book that is everything an authorized biography should be. It's compendious meticulously researched with the collaboration of its subject, and contains every fact you are ever likely to want to know about him.' Guardian 'A substantial work of history, not shy to explore Foot's human frailties...Yet it is also affectionate, conveying the warmth of Foot's generosity of spirit and his passions.' Scotsman 'Beautifully written, and with facts and arguments skillfully assembled...a supremely honest scholar.' Financial Times 'Morgan's judgements of Foot are elegantly balanced...accurate narrative and careful analysis.' Roy Hattersley, The Observer Read more...
