Again hardbacked first edition from 2003 titled "Through Gates of Fire: a Journey into World Disorder" signed by Author Martin Bell OBE. Great signed book for the political section of my signed book collection. Cost a £1.

 

Martin Bell, OBE, (born 31 August 1938, Redisham, Suffolk) is a British UNICEF (UNICEF UK) Ambassador, a former broadcast war reporter and former independent politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tatton from 1997 to 2001.

 

In 1997, twenty-four days before that year's British General Election, Martin Bell announced that he was leaving the BBC to stand as an independent candidate in the Tatton constituency in Cheshire. Tatton was one of the safest Conservative seats in the country, where the sitting Conservative Member of Parliament, Neil Hamilton, was embroiled in "sleaze" allegations. The Labour and Liberal Democrat parties withdrew their candidates in Bell's favour in a plan masterminded by Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's press secretary.
Hamilton was trounced, and Bell was elected an MP with a majority of 11,077 votesoverturning a Conservative majority of over 22,000 – and thus became the first successful independent parliamentary candidate since 1951
