Acknowledgements

As always my first and deepest debts are to my wife Jean, for her continuing support and encouragement, and next to our children Jonathan and Claire, for theirs as well. Those who encouraged me on the route to this book include Trudy Harpham, Peter Hennessy and Rémy Tremblay. In writing it I have benefited from help and advice from, among others, Will Bevan, Charlotte Creed, Joan Dassin, Brian Donnelly, the late Christine Humphrey, John Kirkland, Nick Mulhern, Tamson Pietsch and Reehana Raza. It would have been impossible to do it without the work of archivists at the National Archives at Kew and of librarians particularly at Cambridge University Library, the Institute of Education in London and the British Library. Interpretations and errors are all my own.
