In Place of Fear is a political and philosophical book written by Aneurin Bevan, a prominent British politician of the 20th century. Originally published in 1952, the book is a collection of speeches and essays that Bevan wrote during his time as a Member of Parliament and Minister of Health in the post-World War II Labour government of the United Kingdom.The book is a passionate defense of the welfare state and the principles of socialism, as well as a critique of capitalism and the conservative political establishment. Bevan argues that the government has a responsibility to provide for the basic needs of its citizens, including healthcare, education, and housing, and that this can only be achieved through a system of public ownership and democratic control.Bevan's writing is characterized by his eloquence, wit, and deep conviction. He draws on a wide range of historical and philosophical sources to make his case, and his arguments are both persuasive and thought-provoking. He also provides insights into his own personal and political journey, including his experiences as a miner's son in Wales and his role in the founding of the National Health Service.In Place of Fear is a classic of political literature, and it remains relevant today as a powerful defense of progressive values and a call to action for those who seek a more just and equitable society.This is a new release of the original 1952 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This is a powerful book, and very relevent to our times in this changing political times, it was written by a politician who was more concerned with principal than spin, in it Bevan covers issues that impacted greatly on all the people of Britain, regardless of class, I recommend this as an impassioned account of when politics wasnt a dirty word!
