Harold Wilson

by Alan Johnson



Harold Wilson was one of the most successful politicians of the twentieth century. Prime Minister from 1964-70, and again from 1974-76, he won four elections as well as a referendum on UK membership of the European Community. The achievements of the Wilson Era - from legalising homosexuality to protecting ethnic minorities, from women's rights to the Open University - radically improved ordinary people's lives for the better.

In Harold Wilson, former Labour cabinet minister and bestselling author Alan Johnson presents a portrait of a truly twentieth-century man, whose 'white heat' speech proclaimed a scientific and technological revolution - and who was as much a part of the sixties as the Beatles and the Profumo scandal.

A fascinating insight into Britain's third Labour prime minister. The Wilson Era achieved significant milestones in post-war Britain, despite an unavoidable devaluation of the GBP, and is a stark reminder of an era when politics and many politicians worked for the people and the greater good!
