This centennial anthology of speeches, writings, and interviews by Tony Benn serves as a timely reminder of his political strength and urgent agenda across a wide range of issues: the consequences of empire, the need to embrace industrial change, state machinery reform, and political management. Tony Benn, a Labour MP for over fifty years, was considered the "most dangerous man in Britain" by the Daily Mail and was the most prominent socialist politician of his time. Holding several significant ministerial positions in the 1960s and 1970s, he participated in the election of the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party in 1981 and the party leadership in 1988. Throughout his career, he presented a series of arguments on constitutional reform, the economy, and foreign affairs – popular and influential political positions known as "Bennism," which set the standard for democratic socialism in the 2010s. As a charismatic orator and lifelong peace campaigner, Benn attained national treasure status upon his retirement, while his revolutionary politics were often overlooked. The introduction to this collection, written by his daughter, author Melissa Benn, offers a more personal portrait of the man, showing how his politics informed every aspect of his life. The book also includes an unpublished interview with Tony Benn conducted towards the end of his life.
