Most Dangerous Man in Britain?

Once dubbed the 'most dangerous man in Britain', Tony Benn, Labour MP for over fifty years, was the most distinguished socialist politician of his era. A char­ismatic orator, a lifelong campaigner for peace, and a charming disruptor of the mainstream, Benn became a national treasure in his retirement, a status some­what at variance with his firebrand politics. This collection of his key writings contains arguments on constitutional reform, the economy and foreign affairs - popular and influential policy positions which became known as 'Bennism' and set the template for democratic socialism in the 2020s.The introduction, written by his daughter, the writer Melissa Benn, offers a per­sonal portrait of a man whose politics informed his every action. Also included is a previously unpublished interview with Tony Benn conducted towards the end of his life.
