Description
The son of a carpenter, Edward Heath broke the patrician mould of Tory leaders. He pioneered free enterprise Conservatism ahead of Thatcher. He committed Britain to Europe. With accomplishments outside politics – in music and international sailing – he is the most multi-talented Prime Minister this century. Yet his period in office, which began with such high hopes in June 1970, collapsed in chaos and humiliation after only three-and-a-half years. In this powerful, bestselling biography, John Campbell shows us a nation undergoing a social and psychological revolution and, at its centre, a man of vision and integrity whose legacy will shape British history for decades to come.

| Review Quote | It holds the reader from the first page to the last. That – plus the beating of a long-needed historical path through the thickets of the early 1970s – makes it a truly special contribution to contemporary history. |
| Other text | I do not believe a better biography of Ted Heath will ever be written… We feel we know him. |
