"Hamer Shawcrass, product of Manchester's slums, placed his wit and strength and handsome presence behind an ideal, made a lost cause his own, and proved that even in a world run by wealth and power a poor boy's dreams could come true.
Hamer was born to lead: his voice was magic, a trumpet commanding men upon a new crusade. Hamer was born to be loved: women were drawn to him by the fascination of his presence. Hamer was born to be served, and the only way to serve his was to serve his career. He made a stepping stone of everyone who knew him. His mother, his lovely wife, his boyhood friends, the peeress he had once defied, all are a part of his life's pattern, which runs sometimes tortuously, often precariously, but always upward.
The story of Hamer's career is the cavalcade of recent English history, the growth of the Labour Party, the Women's Suffrage crusade, the first World War, the Coronation, the promises of the 20's and the feverish hopes and fears of the 30's."
