First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0233963243 Hardback Iain MacLeod was one of the most interesting figures to achieve political prominence since the war. His complex character and outstanding gifts attracted many who would not normally have been sympathetic to Conservative policies. His career expresses perfectly the elusive concept of the 'radical Tory'. In this full, affectionate and illuminating biography, Nigel Fisher describes the circumstances and the qualities which made Iain MacLeod what he was. Nigel Fisher sheds valuable light on the apparent inconsistencies of MacLeod's personality. It is a moving and dramatic story about a man whose courage, compassion and idealism will appeal to readers of all political persuasions, as they did to those who knew him in his lifetime. Corners of boards very slightly bumped. Some wear and tear to D/J.
