A Blaze of Autumn Sunshine: The Last Diaries

By Tony Benn

Book Overview

In this final volume of diaries Tony Benn reflects on the compensations and the disadvantages of old age.

With the support of a small circle of friends and his extended family he continues his activities on behalf of social justice peace and accountability in public life to a background of political change and the international economic crisis.

Following an illness in 2009 the diaries kept for over sixty years cease. Published here alongside these last diaries are Tony Benn's highly personal insights into the challenges of old age and failing health of widowhood and of moving out of the family home after sixty years.

Finally we share in Tony Benn's hopes for the future based on his years of experience and his natural optimism.
