John Campbell's massive and highly impressive biography takes us a long way towards understanding this ambiguous but powerful figure [who has] shaped our affairs fundamentally over the past 30 years. -- Kenneth O. Morgan * New Statesman & Society * Judicious, generous and finely written. -- Ben Pimlott * Independent on Sunday * An outstanding book - over 800 pages and not a word wasted. -- John Bruton * Irish Independent * I do not believe a better biography of Ted Heath will ever be written... We feel we know him. -- Matthew Parris * The Times Literary Supplement * It holds the reader from the first page to the last. That - plus the beating of a long-needed historical path through the thickets of the early 1970s - makes it a truly special contribution to contemporary history. -- Peter Hennessy * The Times Educational Supplement *
