He is the author of five books: biographies of Kenneth Clarke and former Labour leader John Smith, a collection of short biographies called Faces of Labour: The Inside Story (1996), No Such Thing as Society: A History of Britain in the 1980s, and a novel, Innocent in the House.
The journalist Andy McSmith of The Independent, in comparing the lives of Ralph, David and Ed, noted that the elder figure had a "nobility and a drama" that was lacking in their "steady, pragmatic political careers".
Andy McSmith's book Faces of Labour (1996), contends that Godsiff obtained selection for his seat in 1992 by dubious means, which although accepted by the Labour Party, were too late to act upon.
