Author: HEFFER, SIMON
There were few more controversial British politicians of the twentieth century than Enoch Powell. There were few more brilliant. And yet, whilst being an MP for thirty-seven years, his ministerial career lasted a mere fifteen months. His influence, however, was enormous, not least as a harbinger of Thatcherism.
More Than a Politician
There was much more to him, though:
- He was a Professor of Greek at the age of twenty-five.
- A brigadier at the age of thirty-two.
- He was also a poet, biblical scholar, and devoted family man.
A Definitive Biography
The word 'definitive' is hackneyed, but in describing this biography, it can be used legitimately. Not only was Simon Heffer able to interview Enoch Powell, but he was also given access to Powell's massive private archive.
"In future, anyone who wants to study Enoch Powell will start here."
— Bruce Anderson, Spectator
Back in Print
