Showing Citizen Ken: Biography of Ken Livingstone by John Carvel

A brilliant time capsule from the era of Margaret Thatcher, when Ken Livingstone was "evil personified". Based upon interviews with Livingstone ( the son of Tory parents!!) and accompanied by some artwork/drawings and photography. The chapter headings say a lot; Phew what a caucus, spawning grounds (newts geddit!), County Hall, Briefing, Salamander Days (Oh dear,,,geddit?), Fog on the Heseletine, Vandals in Ermine, Brent crossed, Trotsky and the apes, Abolition, Capital, and conclusion. Fun and in depth book, reflecting the man!! Softback, intact and clean and undamaged. Pages have a little browning around the edges, light related.
