3.0 out of 5 stars Aimed at those 'who were there at the time', 24 Nov 2003
This review is from: Glimmers of Twilight: Murder, Intrigue and Passion at the Court of Harold Wilson (Hardcover)
A very interesting account of Joe Haines's time as Harold Wilsons press secretary. One drawback would be that it sometimes fails to put historical events into context, and for anyone under the age of 30 who didn't live through that time it may be a bit confusing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and provocative, 17 Oct 2004
By L. Hancock "leejames666" (Stonehouse, Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Glimmers of Twilight: Murder, Intrigue and Passion at the Court of Harold Wilson (Hardcover)
There was one part of this book that really shocked me. It supports the notions that some not very nice people were peddling at this time. My only suggestion is to buy the book, it is in places fascinating.
