It might have been better to start with the first two books of his memoir since the territory would have been altogether less familiar and consequently perhaps more engaging. This third volume covers his accession to union leadership and transition to cabinet office. He is a very likeable, honest politician but in trying to avoid seeming to boast about his considerable personal and political achievements, his discretion and somewhat overdone self-deprecation tend to dull the narrative.
