For almost two decades John Smith has been a solid, reassuring
presence on the Labour Party front bench: an intelligent, shrewd
Scottish advocate who makes very few mistakes, has committed none
of the personal follies which ruin political careers and, unusually
for a top-level politician, is almost without personal enemies. His
easy victory in the leadership contest which followed Labour's
defeat in the 1992 election was a tribute to the diligent care he
had taken in building his political career. But does John Smith
have the political vision and willpower required to bring the
Labour Party's long term in opposition to an end? He will be given
only one chance. After the next general election he will either be
Prime Minister or out of front-line politics. In this first ever
full-length biography of the Labour leader, Andy McSmith gives an
insider's assessment of whether Smith is equal to the task of
modernizing the Labour Party and pulling of the victory which has
eluded it for over a decade. The book provides a wealth of detail,
based on original sources and numerous personal interviews, about
the past life of a man who is still an unknown quantity despite
many years in the public eye. It portrays someone who has stuck
with remarkable consistency to a core of beliefs which formed his
youth, and provides an acute evaluation of his ability to put those
beliefs into practice.
