Here, in the second highly acclaimed Radio 4 series, he reveals what he discovered from his scrutiny of the nuclear industry and why he now believes nuclear power is unsafe. He recalls what really happened during Cabinet reshuffles by
Harold Wilson
and
Jim Callaghan
and he traces the split in the party following its 1979 defeat, the emergence of the Social Democratic Party and his challenge to the deputy leader,
Denis Healy
.
The sleeve notes include a foreword by
Tony Benn
as well as further background to these historic recordings.
