Dare to be a Daniel by Benn Tony

Tony Benn was born in a house on the Embankment which - ironically - later became the site of the Millbank Tower, centre of Labour spin. Next door lived Sidney and Beatrice Webb, and politics were Tony's life-blood from the very beginning (his father was a Cabinet minister). This warm, affectionate, brilliantly funny account reveals how he developed his ideas and ideals from the extraordinary late-Victorian/Edwardian world of his parents, and how his conviction that the world should be changed has its origins in early experiences.
Tony Benn entered the Commons in 1950 and with Ted Heath held the record post-war timespan as an MP. He has held four cabinet posts and has twice contended the leadership of the Labour Party, of which he has also been chairman. He has written over 15 books.
