Michael Foot
Michael Foot (born 1913) is a writer, journalist and politician, leading the Labour Party from 1980 to 1983. His numerous books range from the withering polemic Guilty Men (co-written with Peter Howard and Frank Owen) about the hapless appeasers of the 1930s, a scholarly work on Jonathan Swift, The Pen and the Sword, to his magnificent two-volume biography of Aneurin Bevan. The last two works are being reissued in Faber Finds.
