Autorenporträt
Alun Gibbard is an award winning writer with over forty books to his name. Two of his books have been short-listed for the British Sports Book Awards. His work is mainly non-fiction, with a strong social history narrative. Only Three Votes is his third collaboration with Gwynoro Jones, on Welsh political history. He also co-wrote the life-story of former First Minister Carwyn Jones. Prior to being an author, he worked in broadcasting, starting his career with BBC Wales News. 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 commission through the Welsh language. A long political career of activism in favour of social democracy continues with his engagement in the Yes Cymru campaign.
