Items related to Dare to be a Daniel
In Dare to be a Daniel, Tony Benn feelingly recalls his years experiencing the agonies of adolescence and of school, where boys were taught to 'keep their minds clean', and the shadow of fascism and war with its disruption and family loss; and describes his emergence from the war as a keen socialist about to embark upon marriage and an unknown political future. This warm, affectionate and funny account reveals the childhood of a radical national political figure and shows how early influences have shaped the commitments and beliefs he holds today.
