Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Printing. Paperback. Sir Rhodes Boyson is one of the Conservative Party's 'more colouful figures' (The Times). In this autobiography he writes frankly of his socialist background and the highlights of a distinguished career in education and as a poilitican. His father was a spinner a…nd a trade union official. His mother came from farming stock. A bright pupil at school, his career after university and service in the Royal Navy led him to a series of headmasterships, including that of Highbury Grove School from 1966 to 1974, which established him as a force to be reckoned with in education. He left the Labour Party in 1964 and joined the Conservative Party in 1968. In 1974 he was elected Conservative Member for Brent Noth, and subsequent appointments in the Thatcher government included four years as an education minister, and the portfolios of Social Security and Northern Ireland. He went to the DOE, in charge of loval government, in 1986. Sir Rhodes has given his party unswerving loyalty, while remaining an independent figure, outspoken on controversial issues. He remains essentially a man of the people, as readers of his stimulating book, now reissued as a paperback, will discover for themselves. 255 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
