Vincent Brome's authoritative biography chronicles the life of the man who, as Minister of Health, architected the National Health Service — arguably the most transformative social reform in modern British history — tracing his journey from the coalfields of Tredegar to the turbulent corridors of Westminster.\n\nBrome writes with the precision of a journalist and the sensitivity of a literary biographer, capturing Bevan's fierce oratory, his passionate socialism, and the internal battles that defined his complex relationship with the Labour movement. This portrait illuminates not only the man but the era — a Britain battered by war and yearning for reconstruction — and leaves the reader asking what becomes of a giant when the institutions he builds begin to outgrow him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130718363867,"sku":"2026200010600-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/01495801-8ac4-4dd3-b9db-e973217c1a30.png?v=1786589169","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010600-secondhand-aneurin-bevan-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
