"Alightly written, readable, and well-documented account which
brings its subject vividly to life . . . Newman s account of the
life of this martyr to optimism is worth reading. "Political
Studies""
Explains Laski s intellectual evolution and the elements of
continuity in his political thinking very well indeed. "Economy and
Society""
For many of us in the Labor Party, over a period of some 20 or 30
years, Harold Laski was our guide, philosopher, and friend,
performing each particular role." "Observer""
In this beautifully written, minutely researched and very
thoughtful book, Professor Newman has at last provided Laski with
the biography that he so manifestly deserves. "Journal of Imperial
and Commonwealth History""
Justice has now been done in Michael Newman s excellent,
well-researched, and eloquent biography. It has the supreme merit
of bringing together Laski s roles as theorist and activist. "New
Statesman and Society""
Mr. Newman s brilliant book is eminently worthy of his subject.
"Jewish Chronicle""
Newman concentrates upon Laski s ideas and politics, but does not
neglect any important aspect of his life. His book is searching,
sober, well-argued." "New" "Left Review""
This is a closely argued book which offers an intelligent and
spirited defense of Laski. "Guardian""
