Reissued with a new foreword to mark the centenary of Harold Wilson`s birth, Ben Pimlott`s classic biography combines scholarship & observation to illuminate the life & career of one of Britain`s most controversial post-war statesmen. Harold Wilson is one of the most enigmatic personalities of recent British history. He held office as Prime Minister for longer than any other Labour leader, & longer than any other premier in peacetime apart from Mrs Thatcher. His success at winning General Elections
- four in all
- has so far not been matched. His grasp of economic policy was better than that of any other Prime Minister, & he enjoyed a high reputation among foreign leaders. Yet, in retrospect, he seems a master tactician rather than a strategist
- & he is regarded today with more curiosity than respect, when he is not treated with contempt.
