It must be rare indeed that a British political figure who never became Prime Minister is the subject of or deserves a biography comprising 750 pages of text. However, as John Campbell demonstrates in this volume, it is difficult to do justice to the life, times and career of Roy Jenkins in much less than that.

For further reading on the subject, may we also recommend [[Downing Street Diary: Volume Two by Bernard Donoughue]] and [[When the Lights Went Out: Britain in the Seventies by Andy Beckett]], or for a more general view of the age, [[A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr]]
