Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A very readable and meticulous take-down that will be seen as a must-read source on left-wing politics' - Paul Le Blanc, author of LeninLove it or hate it, it's hard to deny that British Trotskyism created some fascinating stories. Finding themselves increasingly irrelevant in modern politics, these political sects often became twisted aberrations of Comrade Trotsky's ideals. Gerry Healy's Workers Revolutionary Party was no exception.This new biography tells the story of Healy's life, picking apart fact from fiction, to reveal a man rotten to the core with authoritarian tendencies.
