"James Griffith should feature prominently in any serious history of Briitsh Labour politics. He was a natural leader, firmly rooted in the trade union world of the coal mines of south Wales. He was a working-class hero who rose to become a cabinet minister and the first Secretary of State for Wales... The remarkable story of James Griffith takes us all the way from the origins of British Labour to the origins of devolved Wales. Ben Rees has crafted a highly readable and authoritative account of the life and times of one of Wales' greatest statesmen"--
