The Course of My Life is not only the autobiography of one of the most distinguished figures of modern times but a revealing panoply of twentieth-century political international & social history.

- as Chief Whip (notably during the Suez Crisis) Minister of Labour Lord Privy Seal at the Foreign Office Leader of the Conservative Party from 1965-75 & Prime Minister from 1970 to 1974. Since relinquishing the leadership in 1975 he has maintained a central role in world affairs as well as pursuing his wide musical & sailing interests. Edward Heath writes his autobiography with complete (and often very amusing) candour offering us valuable & entertaining insights into the events of the past sixty years. He describes the importance of a united Europe one of the driving influences in his life since he observed a Nuremberg Rally as an undergraduate & his continuing thoughts on the subject after he took us into the European Community in the 1970s. He discusses the changes in the Conservative Party in his period as an MP & his modernisation of it as its leader & the major issues of domestic policy not least the economy the trade unions & the Troubles in Northern Ireland; these are set against his range of activities on the international stage including his negotiations with China & Saddam Hussein shortly before the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991.
