	Amazon.co.uk: Nye Bevan: A Biography: Books: John Campbell (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He traces the development of Bevan's ideas from his early experiences as a militant young miner in South Wales, up to his election to Parliament as MP for Ebbow Vale in 1939 and onwards to his appointment by Attlee as Minister of Health, thereby being instrumental in the creation of the National Health Service.
		Bevan was a passionate man, a man of unimpeachable integrity and honesty, a great orator (indeed, one of the towering parliamentary speakers of the century) and an able minister and administrator - a true political heavyweight.
		This book was originally published under the title 'Nye Bevan and the Mirage of British Socialism' in 1987 and re-issued with an abridged title ten years later, presumably to mark the coincidence of the centenary of Bevan's birth and Blair's first landslide.

	Aneurin Bevan
		Nye would argue a case often from an entirely new angle in a witty and conclusive manner at considerable length until one was convinced that no other conclusion was reasonable or even possible.
		But for Bevan this was as high, in terms of applying socialism to the common man, as anyone could aim, and in the event the one great effort in socialism which Labour so firmly established that consequent political changes have failed to move it.
		Nye's greatest achievement was to get the Health Service established on a comprehensive basis, and to break the old paternalist view that social services were only for the destitute or near destitute or for those who had established contribution rights.

	Never Again! Nye Bevin, Housing and Harold Hill.
		The young Bevan quickly graduated to organised politics and was elected to the local District council in April 1922 and in these preparatory years the young radical concentrated on what in 1945 was to become his national responsibility: health and housing.
		Bevan was now ready to impose himself upon the national scene and to carry an already well cemented local reputation further.
		Bevan’s standing amongst the poor nationally was one of admiration and when Gallop commissioned a poll in 1950, Labour voters responded by naming him their favourite for premiership.

	New Statesman - Nye Bevan's sensational secret
		Donald Bruce, parliamentary private secretary to Nye Bevan in the Attlee government, who died during the election campaign aged 92, took to his grave the secret of his hero's sensational conversion to the wisdom of Britain's nuclear deterrent.
		Bevan shocked his friends and gratified his enemies in the Labour establishment in 1957, when he warned the annual party conference that nuclear unilateral disarmament would send a British foreign secretary "naked into the conference chamber", a phrase that has entered the political lexicon.
		His intervention, which swung delegates and the union block vote in favour of the platform, was regarded by the left as an act of treachery, an unwarranted slur on socialism and an attack on the Soviet Union to boot.

	Aneurin Bevan Trail
		Nye was elected to the Council in 1922.
		The stutter that plagued Nye's early years might have been exacerbated by this friction, along with the fact that he was naturally left-handed and was made to write with his right hand.
		The stones were erected in Nye's memory to mark the spot where he held open-air meetings to speak to his constituents - the centre stone represents Aneurin Bevan and the others point towards Ebbw Vale, Rhymney and Tredegar, (the three settlements in his constituency).

		But this kind of distortion is generally so obvious and open that it is harmless, In any case, there is a sense in which, for example, the fight against the persecution of militants under the wartime regulation 1 AA was as essential as the gigantic military struggle against fascism abroad.
		Nonetheless, where a biographer is dealing with a renegade (and Bevan was one by the time he died) it is his duty to, examine the earlier career of his subject with a view to suggesting some explanation of later developments.
		Bevan’s political alignments are seen as prompted by pure and unremitting idealism, without taint of compromise except in a strictly tactical sense.
