Synopsis

Since joining the House of Commons in 1950, Edward Heath has been at the centre of British political life - as Chief Whip, Minister of Labour, Lord Privy Seal, Leader of the Conservative Party, and Prime Minister from 1970 to 1974. Writing with great candour, he offers us valuable and entertaining insights into the events of the past sixty years; including taking Britain in to the EC, the changes in the Conservative Party and the great issues of policy at home and abroad, not least the beginnings of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Since leaving the premiership, he has maintained a central role in political and international affairs. Both as a record of an unequalled life of public service and as an important document of people and events, "The Course of My Life" is as entertaining as it is revealing.

Media Reviews
'This is one of the great heavyweight political autobiographies of the century, a vital source book for future generations and historians' -- The Sunday Times 'A classic, traditional political memoir drenched in the flavour of its author's own idiosyncratic personality' -- Anthony Howard in The Sunday Times 'A very personal work. It describes the fortunes and misfortunes of a remarkable patriot' -- Douglas Hurd in Times Literary Supplement 'An account of his own life which crackles with interest, veracity and even feeling' -- Matthew Parris in the Sunday Telegraph
