Sir Vernon Bogdanor evaluates the far-reaching impact of six-post war politicians upon our country. None of these men became prime minister but collectively Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, Roy Jenkins and Tony Benn on the political Left, and Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph and Nigel Farage on the political Right, all shaped the debates about Britain’s future. In conversation with the historian David Kynaston, Vernon identifies how and why these politicians remain such live figures today and addresses their profound ideological beliefs on immigration, Europe and the NHS – which continue to drive political debate.
David Kynaston is a historian and writer; he is particularly known for his analysis of post-war Britain and is the author of a widely acclaimed series of works in this field.
