So whose Wales is it? There is a degree of ambiguity that runs through Welsh politics that in turn has hindered discussions of a clear Welsh political identity. Can any one party claim to have done more than any other in the fight for securing and developing Welsh devolution? This book looks at these claims and counterclaims.

Gwynoro Jones was twenty-seven years old when he was elected as the Labour MP for Carmarthen in 1970. It was the first of three elections he contested against Plaid Cymru leader Gwynfor Evans in the west Wales seat that became a touchstone for both nationalist and socialist ambitions for a new Wales. He was the first elected politician to address the European assembly (Council of Europe) through the Welsh language. A long political career of activism in favour of social democracy continues with his engagement initially in the early years of Yes Cymru but latterly with the efforts for greater Welsh sovereignty.Alun Gibbard is an award-winning writer with over forty books to his name.
