Fame Is The Spur by Howard Spring
A passionate young working-class activist rises to national political prominence, and the novel traces how his early radicalism and personal warmth are slowly eroded by ambition, compromise and the comforts of power; as he becomes a respected member of the political establishment, former allies and loved ones confront the betrayal of the ideals that propelled him, exposing the moral and human cost of success in public life.
