William Francis Hare (1906-1997), fifth Earl of Listowel, witnessed
some of the most remarkable events in twentieth-century British
history. Joining a small band of Labour supporters in the House of
Lords in 1932 and later holding senior ministerial posts under
Attlee he was at the forefront of Labour politics for over sixty
years. Upon his death in 1997 he was the longest serving member of
both the House of Lords and the Privy Council. Devoted to social
democracy, 'Billy' Listowel was often a critical activist,
including during the fall of Republican Spain, and as an eye
witness on the calamitous road to the Second World War. His role as
the last Secretary of State for India and Burma put him at the
centre of the climactic end of Britain's Indian Empire and
subsequent decolonisation. This volume presents his memoirs,
charting the Rise of Labour and the Fall of Empire.
