Roy Jenkins
"Captivating... I read every single one of the 749 pages of this long book with relish and fascination. It is a splendid tribute to one of the greatest British politicians and writers (not necessarily in that order) of the last century." -- Peter Oborne Daily Telegraph "'Campbell is simply a master of the art... This book is effortlessly superior." -- Dominic Sandbrook Sunday Times "Marvellous... The highest praise I can give to John Campbell's biography is that Roy Jenkins would have been proud to have been its author." -- Alan Johnson Guardian "A magnificent biography... By any reckoning this was a remarkable life, to which Campbell has done full justice." -- Chris Mullins Observer "Magnificent... As plump and benign as its subject." -- A N Wilson Evening Standard
