Heath (1916-2005) was a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1974 and
Leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to 1975. In 1971 he signed the treaty
bringing Britain into the European Community and resigned as Prime Minister after
trying in vain to form a coalition with the Liberal Party; regardless losing a second general
election in October that year, Heath vowed to continue as leader of his party. In February
1975, however, his former Education Secretary Margaret Thatcher challenged and
defeated Heath to win the leadership. After his return to the backbenches, he became an
active critic of Thatcher's policies as leader and, from 1979, as Prime Minister. Heath
remained a backbench MP until retiring in 2001, serving as the Father of the House for his
last nine years in Parliament. In August 2015 police started investigating multiple claims of
historic child sexual abuse by Heath. Lightly toned and soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
