On November 6th my concise biography of Harold Wilson went paperback.
I love the photograph that the publisher, Swift Press, unearthed to adorn the cover. The ubiquitous pipe is prominently displayed in a pose that somehow captures Wilson’s potent combination of intellect and humour.
Originally published in September 2024, the book has already been named Prospect magazine’s ‘Book of the Year’ and won the prestigious Westminster Book Award for ‘Best Biography’. My first biography, I really hope it’s not my last.
