Kenneth O. Morgan: My Histories

This autobiography tells the story of Wales’ leading historian, Kenneth O. Morgan, including reflections on the books he has written-thirty-two to date-and his background in rural Wales, in addition to offering insight into his life as an Oxford don and as vice-chancellor of the historic market town of Aberystwyth and the University of Wales. He also discusses his career as a working Labour member of the House of Lords and his close friendships with James Callaghan, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, and A. J. P. Tayler. If anyone’s life story can be said to embody the history of Wales, past and present, it is certainly Morgan’s.
