Hmmm, I suppose this might be a sympathetic biography, although he comes off (as a young man, anyway) as a spoiled brat. A lot of people couldn't stand him. I don't know if the fact that Roy Jenkins was in another political party during the time they were both in parliament changed the author's perceptions. (Of course, Roy Jenkins is a lot like Churchill, a writer, painter, youngest member of parliament, changed parties, was an elder statesman, etc.) I read up until 1922, I suppose nothing really interesting happened after that.
