'an alluring account of a unique figure' Harry Mount:The Spectator

‘tough on his weakness…a full picture of a complicated character’ Rachel Billington: Daily Mail

‘in a balanced text [that] gives us an insight into his complex motivations, what comes over is a driven man, refreshingly unaffected by public opinion’ John Cooper: The Independent

‘a wry, kindly biography’ John Whale: Church Times

Revised edition of my 1994 biography, completed after the death of the seventh Earl of Longford (1904-2001), and using for the first time diaries and papers kept by his wife, Elizabeth Longford. It was adapted by scriptwriter Peter Morgan for his multi-award-winning 2006 film, Longford, shown on Channel 4, starring Jim Broadbent in the title role.
