Edward Heath. A Personal and Political Biography

Great Britain: Longman. Hardback. First Edition. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Wear and tear to edges of D/J. This biography - the first - is a book which combines insight with detachment. The author has looked at Edward Heath in both personal and political terms. He describes Heath's beginnings, his family, his early life and upbringing at Broadstairs, his formative years at Oxford and in the Army, his experiences as a Civil Servant, as a journalist, and in a City Bank, his likes and dislikes, his private interests, his friendships: and he relates them to what is most significant in his public career. The author has known Edward Heath (and most of his Parliamentary colleagues) for many years, and he understands him. But Heath has been rather a puzzle to the public: they have not been sure what to make of him. This book brings out the inner character of the man who in 1965 became the first elected leader of his party. Illustrated. 229 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
