It is the life of an inspirational politician, written by one who knew and unabashedly admired him. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume II, first published in 1973, begins with Bevan's role in the founding of a comprehensive National Health Service - this while he was also tasked with addressing the country's severe post-war housing shortage. It takes in his 1951 resignation from the cabinet in protest at the introduction of prescription charges, and his subsequent leadership of a 'Bevanite' Labour left; his publication in 1952 of In Place of Fear; his service as Shadow Foreign Secretary during the Suez crisis in 1956; his controversial reversal of opposition to nuclear weapons in 1957; and his death from cancer in 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158069788912,"sku":"9780571280858","price":23.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571280858_p0.jpg?v=1769896663","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571280858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
