The masterly official biography of Britain's former prime minister, which captures all the political drama of the 1970s, so relevant for the present day
Harold Wilson (1993): 'Ziegler is technically very impressiveHis ability to drive a narrative along at a spanking pace while weaving in brief, balancing judgments on Wilson's performance and always providing enough (but not too much) explanatory material ! is very professional.' Roy Jenkins, Observer 'Ziegler's particular strength lies in his understanding of the complex character, psychology and lifestyle of Harold Wilson ! This admirable and entertaining study captures the feel of Wilson and his entourage far better than any other I have read.' John Torode, Independent
