What makes a Prime Minister, and what makes him a great Prime Minister? Where will posterity rank Edward Heath, the first man born to a working-class family to become his country' chief executive in a Conservative government? In his first two years of office he has shown that he possesses and extraordinary combination of consistency, stubborness and passion. He has won interantional regard that far exceeds his somewhat volatile acclaim at home; he could become the first leader of the United States of Europe. Yet after nearly two years of being almost permanently in the public eye, he remains a mystery: in some ways he is too straight-forward to be readily believed by a sophisticated audience, and, thanks to prive self-containment, he is an enigma even to his family and friends. In a series of interviews with those most intimate with him: his father, colleagues, old and new friends, former masters and dons, and with the Prime Minister himself, the author has searched for clues and insights into the true character and meaning of the man and his achievement.
