Values for a Godless Age - the story of the UK's new Bill of Rights, Francesca Klug. Pengiun, 2000, 304 pages, ?7.99. Francesca Klug has been one of the foremost campaigners for the introduction of the Human Rights Act (HRA) and this book reflects her longstanding commitment to this project. As well as describing the content and effect of the new Act the historical origins of the struggle for freedom and rights are set out as are the potential contradictions for New Labour. The best text to put the HRA into context.
