Summary note
"This brisk narrative is about one of England's greatest Labour party leaders - Hugh Gaitskell, a man who has been compared to President Kennedy. like Kennedy Gaitskell was a relentless modernizer with a new style, a man who preferred to live his political life dangerously. He was a champion of justice, an idealist who spoke out on the human condition whenever it cried for improvement. Although born into and educated in the upper class, Gaitskell give steadfast support to causes of the commoners."--Book Jacket.
