The Course of My Life: My AutobiographySince joining the House of Commons in 1950, Edward Heath has been at the centre of British political life - as Chief Whip, Minister of Labour, Lord Privy Seal, Leader of the Conservative Party, and Prime Minister from 1970 to 1974. Writing with great candour, he offers us valuable and entertaining insights into the events of the past sixty years; including taking Britain in to the EC, the changes in the Conservative Party and the great issues of policy at home and abroad, not least the beginnings of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Since leaving the premiership, he has maintained a central role in political and international affairs. Both as a record of an unequalled life of public service and as an important document of people and events, THE COURSE OF MY LIFE is as entertaining as it is revealing. |
