A new political party - the Angels - appears in British politics. Part cult, part charity, the Angels are well funded, well-led by Michael (named after the Archangel). Their policies are designed to appeal across the UK electorate.
Michael Foot's two-volume biography of Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan (1897-1960) - arguably Britain's greatest socialist, indelibly associated with the founding of the National Health Service - is one of the major political biographies of the last century.
When Aneurin Bevan died in 1960 he was acclaimed as an outstanding political figure, a parliamentary debater of the first order and a man of courage and personal magnetism. Yet he spent his life at the centre of a ferocious political controversy. This biography unravels the details of his life.
