Moores account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power. Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992) Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he？How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics？Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilsons final phase as prime minister in 1974. Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001) Jenkins writes a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchills historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did. Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014) Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins various affairs with women. Like Jenkinss political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them. Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017) Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what its like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media. 【语篇解读】　短文介绍了5
