Harold Wilson more we know.

A very good account of a Prime Minister who in current times, is grossly under valued for the life changing policies he bestowed upon our country.

Good overview of an interesting life

This is a short overview of an interesting politician who I admit to knowing relatively little of. Authors narrating their books is a double edged sword and althought I love Johnson, do feel this is one occasion that a pro might have been a better choice.

A kind and generous portrayal of visionary politician.

A short sharp portrayal of an astute and very able politician who guided this country through a period of great change and into the new age of technology and innovation.
Our country should be forever grateful for his leadership and courage in keeping us out of the Vietnam war and in the opening of the Open University, as well as the abolition of the death penalty in our nation.

Predictably superb

Reassuringly well researched and realised. I remain a huge admirer of this author., therefore recommended.
