Studious, Compassionate, Worthy. - By: , 18 Feb 2001
Having enjoyed Calllaghan's own biography 'Time & Chance', I read this book with keen interest to find out more about a man who I felt had been let down by his own supporters. The book is compssionate towards its subject, authoritative with the events it deals with & adds considerably to recent Labour history.

It is observed by the author that James Calllaghan spans the Old & New Labour ideologues. This is a good assessment. Calllaghan strides the period of nationalisation, which turns to militancy, & a disorganised party & an unelectable cabinet. In the next few years of leadership 'Calllaghan: A Life' covers Calllaghan resisting the radicals, such as Benn & Foot, which starts the long transition to the New Party of Tony Blair.

All in alll, a worthy study that captures the human side of the struggle one man had against a Union dominated party. Well worth reading!
