The chief political commentator of the Daily Mirror seeks to humanize the British left with anecdotes mostly of humorous acts, speeches, and situations, some of which were scandalous at the time, or perhaps would have been had they not been so silly. But he also describes occasions of sadness, sacrifice, and grief. It is, he says, a personal, subjective list. The arrangement is alphabetical by person. There is no bibliography or index.
