The Benn Diaries, intensely personal, candid and engaging as they are, rank as an important work of historiography -- Alan Clark * Daily Telegraph *

Immensely readable and revealing -- Ben Pimlott * Sunday Times *
An archive of incalculable value -- Ruth Dudley Edwards * Independent *
The best political diarist of our time * Financial Times *
