Editorial Reviews
Review
‘The publishers are to be congratulated on publishing such a potentially important book … Heath has managed to blend the public and private records relating to Askwith with such skill that a civil servant almost resembles a human being.’ Labour History Review ‘[provides] a wider context for an appreciation of [Askwith’s] qualities and his achievements as a conciliator in collective labour disputes.’ Industrial Law Journal
