Reviews
A delightful book. Here is a life of integrity, intelligence, decency, diligence and public service retold in a clear and self-deprecating style that captures the reader from the last paragraph to the last. From the Foreword by Stephen Fry. 'I commend Benchmark to anyone who likes to read of distinguished men who lead honest and interesting times, but are not too pompous to recall the time they drank the last of the milk during rationing.' Rachel Johnson, 'The Sunday Times'.
