The son of a carpenter, Edward Heath broke the patrician mould of Tory leaders. He pioneered free enterprise Conservatism ahead of Thatcher. He committed Britain to Europe. With accomplishments outside politics - in music and international sailing - he is the most multi-talented Prime Minister this century. Yet his period in office, which began with such high hopes in June 1970, collapsed in chaos and humiliation after only three-and-a-half years.
In this powerful, bestselling biography, John Campbell shows us a nation undergoing a social and psychological revolution and, at its centre, a man of vision and integrity whose legacy will shape British history for decades to come.
John Campbell was born in 1947 and educated at Edinburgh University. His books include Lloyd George: The Goat in the Wilderness, F.E. Smith, Roy Jenkins, Nye Bevan and the Mirage of British Socialism, If Love Were All...: The Story of Frances Stevenson and David Lloyd George, Pistols at Dawn: Two Hundred Years of Political Rivalry from Pitt and Fox to Blair and Brown and The Iron Lady: Margaret Thatcher: From Grocer's Daughter to Iron Lady. He has also edited a number of books including The Experience of World War II and the series ‘Makers of the Twentieth Century’.
