Autumn Manoeuvres Faber & Faber Their journey will take themJimmie Johnston first became a Labour MP in Cumbria when there was a brave new post war world to build. Now, in the late 70s, another general election looms but he is no longer so optimistic. And as he fights to keep his seat, his family begins to fracture around him and scandal threatens. In this absorbing and fast paced novel, Melvyn Bragg's portrait of the mood and politics of the era remains as pertinent today as on its original publication.
