Benn - "Dare to Be a Daniel" [2004]
Tony Benn feelingly recalls
his years experiencing the agonies of adolescence and of school
and the shadow of fascism and war with its disruption and
family loss; and describes his emergence from the war as a
keen socialist about to embark upon marriage and an unknown
political future. This warm, affectionate and funny account
reveals the childhood of a radical national political figure
and shows how early influences have shaped the commitments
and beliefs he holds today..

Tony
Benn - A Political Life [David Powell 2001]
This biography traces Tony Benn's extraordinary
50-year political career from the day he first entered the
House of Commons in 1950. Benn has always been a controversial
figure. Nonetheless many of the policies he championed, including
some for which he was widely belittled, have since entered
the statute books.
If history is a chronicle of ironies, there
can have been little more ironic than when, following Benn's
valedictory speech in the Commons in 2001, a Tory backbencher
commended him to fellow MPs as Britain's "greatest living
Parliamentarian." This updated paperback edition contains
additional material, providing an insight into Benn's views
on the recent French elections, the tragic events of September
11th and the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
The
