James Harold Wilson, baron of Rievaulx and British politician, served as prime minister from 1964 to 1970 and from 1974 to 1976; turmoil in Rhodesia and Northern Ireland and an economic crisis marked his Administration.

James Harold Wilson, knight of the Garter, order of the empire, fellow of royal society, and privy councilor, one most prominent member of Labor of the latter half of the 20th century, served two terms of the United Kingdom, first and again. He contested five general elections, more than any other 20th century premier, won four, and emerged in 1964, 1966, February 1974, and October 1974. He most recently served non-consecutive terms.

Reviews

[Louis Hogg · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short and informational book, written by a former Prime Minister, on how the internal governance of the UK system works. While it maybe a little dated by current standards, it still holds up in many areas. Will recommend to anyone who is studying or has an interest in politics.

You will probably have difficulty in finding this book even if you wanted to. Many people in and from Britain in the 60's would prefer to forget the pipe and raincoat and one of the most off the wall British prime Ministers. He seems the epitome of the great line "if you remember London in the 60's then you obviously weren't there" A definite collector's oddity
