Tony Benn

Description:
What it says on the cover:
Tony Benn's twin messages - of hope, and of anger against injustice - have always appealed to the young and idealistic, even to those who don't share his political beliefs. As Peter Hennessy has written, 'what is special about him is his constant curiosity about why things are as they are, why they have to be that way and what he can do about them.

In these letters to his ten grandchildren and their generation, Tony Benn uses his enourmous experience of life to encourage them to question evertthing as they cope with the challenges they will face. Writing with affection and respect, he hopes that this book will inspire young people to reject the pessimism and cynicism that are so prevalent today, and above all have confidence in themselves.
