Tony Benn is an undeniably controversial force in British politics, a vanguard of the Labour Left, and the energetic radicalism and missionary zeal for which he is renowned are virtually family traditions, as the author has discovered in tracing Benn's origins from his great-grandfather Julius, a Congregational minister in London's East End (tragically murdered by his own son William who ended his days in Broadmoor); to his grandfather John, founder of the Benn Brothers' publishing empire and the first Benn to sit in Parliament; to his father William 'Wedgie' Benn, a cabinet minister and privy councillor, who became Viscount Stansgate in 1942 . **** NOT EX LIB ****
