This Is My Truth Aneurin Bevan in Tribune

The first edited collection of NHS founder Aneurin Bevan's writings in Tribune. Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960) is a revered figure in Welsh and British politics, celebrated for his role as the founder of the National Health Service. As a result, Bevan is continuously invoked, quoted, and praised for his principles. However, Bevan was not only a significant politician but also a prolific writer, contributing extensively to the socialist magazine Tribune from its founding in 1937 until his death in 1960. This is My Truth represents the first collection of these writings. Beginning with an introduction that charts Bevan's career and legacy, the collection showcases Bevan's analysis of class conflict, capitalism, democracy, and democratic socialism. It provides readers with the opportunity to read Bevan in his own words and to reflect on a figure who remains a source of inspiration and controversy today.
