Book excerpt: Denis Healey attended Bradford Grammar School and from there went up to Oxford, where he began to test and expand his political views. After a distinguished war career, he travelled throughout a shattered Europe as International Secretary of the Labour Party. He became MP for Leeds in 1952 and rose to the highest political ranks, becoming Defence Secretary, Chancellor and a major figure in the Labour Party, standing twice for the leadership. He was made a life peer in 1992. The autobiography is also about Dennis Healey the man. His wide-ranging intelligence brilliantly counterpoints the pace of change Britain has witnessed since 1945, and illuminates his love of literature, art, music and photography. This is the memoir of a man in the round: a great politician, speaker, writer and above all a friend and family man - a book which will inspire all who read it with the wit, warmth and wisdom of Denis Healey.

Book Synopsis The Wit and Humour of William Hague by : Dr. Eileen Metcalfe
Download or read book The Wit and Humour of William Hague written by Dr. Eileen Metcalfe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that nothing describes a man better than his own sense of humour. Few men in public life display the wit of William Hague, now Baron Hague of Richmond. His keenly developed sense of humour and penetrating wit is a delightful facet of his personality. This book highlights Hague’s rise on the political stage as well and his penchant for doing and saying the unexpected. His words are taken largely from his speeches and debates in the House of Commons. Hague joined the Conservative Party on his fifteenth birthday, and within twelve months he made national news headlines in an unforgettable speech, addressing the Conservatives at their 1977 Annual National Conference. He was elected to Parliament in 1989, becoming its youngest Conservative member at age twenty-eight. On the back benches, Hague began a career as an author, writing biographies of William Pitt the Younger and William Wilberforce. His personal popularity in the Conservative Party and with the wider public can be partially attributed to his incomparable wit and humour. Take a lighthearted look at some of William Hague’s contributions to debates in the House of Commons, particularly those that were pervaded by a sense of fun.

Book excerpt: Pitbull is back and angrier than ever, with another collection of hilariously well-observed and rambunctiously argued grievances about the mad world of sport and beyond. Following the success of The Thoughts of Chairman Moore, Volume I, you might have hoped that sport's powers that be would have sat up and taken notice of its many faults and flaws. But alas no, lunacy prevails and so Brian has taken it upon himself to put forward another collection of his unique insights and not-so-unique frustrations. Uproariously funny and spot-on in its every complaint, Volume II is required reading for anyone who can't live without sport but who also can't help but wonder at its unbridled idiocy!

Book Synopsis The Last Governor by : Jonathan Dimbleby
Download or read book The Last Governor written by Jonathan Dimbleby and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Interesting conclusions about the conduct of British foreign policy on Hong Kong . . . an extraordinary diplomatic, political and personal drama.”—Julian Stockwin, author of To the Eastern Seas 1 July 1997 marked the end of British rule of Hong Kong, whereby this territory was passed into the hands of the People’s Republic of China. In 1992, Chris Patten, former chairman of the Conservative Party, was appointed Hong Kong’s last governor, and was the man to oversee the handover ceremony of this former British colony. Within the last five years of British rule, acclaimed journalist Jonathan Dimbleby was given unique access to the governor which enabled him to document the twists and turns of this extraordinary historical moment. As Governor, Patten encouraged the necessary expansion of Hong Kong’s social welfare system, striving to reconcile the basic rights and freedom of over 6 million people with the unpredictable imperatives of Beijing. With “bracing narrative energy,” the author draws on the insights of a host of senior figures to place the crisis in both its human and historical contexts and presents some startling arguments about the conduct of British foreign policy on Hong Kong before and during Patten’s tenure (The Globe and Mail).
