Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Alan Beith has been an MP for England's northernmost constituency for 35 years and is a leading figure in the Liberal Democrats. His book covers key stages in his party's growth, including the 1970s Lib-Lab pact and Paddy Ashdown's leadership, and also what the philosophy of Liberalism is all about. He writes about his work overseeing Britain's intelligence and security services over more than a decade, and how faith has helped him through dark times with the deaths of his first wife, Barbara, and his son, Chris. Beith has been the Liberal Democrat MP for England's most northerly constituency for nealy 4 decades, and is the longest serving Lib Dem MP in Parliament. He is also a well-known Methodist lay preacher, and here analyses how his religion has affected his life and work, as well as talking about the key moments in his Lib Dem career.
