For nine years, Carwyn Jones was at the helm of Welsh politics. As First Minister from 2009 to 2018, he led the governance of an increasingly devolving Wales through turmoil and success.

And by placing Philip Burton's story centre stage, a remarkable figure also emerges in his own right. In a life that virtually spa...
