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 ¨C from legalising homosexuality to protecting ethnic minorities, from women¡¯s rights to the Open University ¨C 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 ¨C and who was as much a part of the sixties as the Beatles and the Profumo scandal.
