This is a lovely book; warm, humane, genuinely revelatory and, on occasions, a touch surreal * Sunday Times * [Benn's] interest in politics has transmuted into an interest in individual human beings. And through all the pain and sorrow, there is a new kind of freedom in his thoughts and in his writing * Mail on Sunday * There is something amusing on almost every page of these diaries. Tony Benn loves paradox, and looking at things from a different angle to the one you might expect. He tells us at the start that the old have a great deal to learn from the young, and a delightful air of unreality hangs over his writing * Daily Telegraph * A compelling, often rollicking read * Observer * Inspiring and touching * Financial Times *
