A Party with Socialists in It: A History of the Labour Left by Simon Hannah
2.0
Hannah produced an okay condescending primer.
This book has the standard, manipulatively pedagogical Trot paperback problems. It offers a gloss analysis of the UK left's defeats and enemies, with no interest in the stated motivations of the Labour right, soft left, or historic defectors. I enjoyed it as a whirlwind tour of roll-calls, old movements and seated resentments.
