"A splendid biography: fair, amusing and, at times, moving. I cannot see it being bettered" (Julian Critchley Sunday Times)
"An important and judicious book... a wise and scholarly work... The balance of action, belief and personal life is well maintained" (David Gilmour Independent on Sunday)
"Lewis makes the best possible case for Hailsham, all the more convincing because he sets his subject's virtues in the greater context of his undeniable flaws... I shall look at him with far greater knowledge and no little admiration" (Gerald Kaufman Sunday Telegraph)
Reseña del editor
This is the authorized life of one of the most powerful and controversial Tory politicians of the post-war era. Lord Hailsham - statesman, orator, writer, Christian and patriot - had earned Mrs Thatcher's tribute, when he finally retired in 1987, that there were few people in public life who had provided such service to his country over a span of forty years.
As Quintin Hogg, Hailsham started his public career in the famous Oxford by-election of 1938. He joined the government just before the Suez crisis in 1956 and remained a strong presence in every Tory goverment until his retirement, holding a varitety of important posts, including Party Chairman when he famously rang the bell to toll the death of the Labour Party. The extraordinary drama of the 1963 succession to Macmillan is comprehensively revealed in this book, as is Hailsham`s highly influential career in the law, where he was Lord Chancellor for twelve years after 1970.
