Book Synopsis
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.
