Spotlight
illuminates the years that
PETER HAIN
was the MP for Neath
Introduction
Rather than write a book on Peter Hain, the former Labour MP for Neath, a group of authors collaborated and constructed a website about him.
The website does not pretend to be encyclopaedic in the sense that everything you ever wanted to know about Peter Hain - but were afraid to ask - appears in its pages. However, unlike a book, it can be easily updated as more facts emerge on the topics covered, as well as completely new issues added to it as necessary.
Peter Hain's early life and anti-apartheid campaigning are already well known to the public, as is his long and distinguished Parliamentary career. A recent source of first hand information on these aspects of his life is contained within his own autobiographical book "Outside In", published by Biteback Publishing in 2012. In addition there are numerous other sources, including the MP's own website:
as well as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hain
The website makes no attempt to deal in detail with these better known aspects of Peter Hain's earlier life and career, but concentrates instead on other matters which are less well known. Its aim has been to assemble these facts into one "umbrella" document.
The website allows a feedback facility where readers can comment and have their say - this is thought to be far more democratic in this day and age of the Internet.
An update button has been added to the menu, which includes items printed in THE NEATH FERRET.
The authors of this website present the facts - it is up to readers to form their own opinions.
Editorial Note With the links provided to other websites, and the Guestbook/Feedback facility, it is considered that this 'production' is more powerful and comprehensive than any book. However, for those who would like an additional book in their reference library, the door is open for a printed version. This website must therefore be considered as a draft for an interested publisher.
