Reseña del editor
An excellent starting point for someone interested in learning how Parliament "works", what it consists of and how the political business of England is conducted. Sir Boyson has been at the center of parliamentary affairs for several decades, and is one of the most colorful and recognizable members of the House of Commons. He tells of his early years growing up in an impoverished family, his service during the war with the Royal Navy, his years in education, first as a teacher and later as headmaster, and his service in government. He was a Conservative MR serving in Margaret Thatcher's government as a minister for Education, Social Security, and Northern Ireland. For his distinguished service to his country, he was knighted in 1987.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Paperback Printing. Paperback. Sir Rhodes Boyson is one of the Conservative Party's 'more colouful figures' (The Times). In this autobiography he writes frankly of his socialist background and the highlights of a distinguished career in education and as a poilitican. His father was a spinner and a trade union official. His mother came from farming stock. A bright pupil at school, his career after university and service in the Royal Navy led him to a series of headmasterships, including that of Highbury Grove School from 1966 to 1974, which established him as a force to be reckoned with in education. He left the Labour Party in 1964 and joined the Conservative Party in 1968. In 1974 he was elected Conservative Member for Brent Noth, and subsequent appointments in the Thatcher government included four years as an education minister, and the portfolios of Social Security and Northern Ireland. He went to the DOE, in charge of loval government, in 1986. Sir Rhodes has given his party unswerving loyalty, while remaining an independent figure, outspoken on controversial issues. He remains essentially a man of the people, as readers of his stimulating book, now reissued as a paperback, will discover for themselves. 255 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
