A collection of the key writings of Ted Grant, one of the founders of the Militant - includes Will There Be a Slump?, The Chinese Revolution and Against the Theory of State Capitalism amongst others.
This is a political autobiography of a working class man who came to be a leading figure within the Militant organisation in Liverpool: it examines his personal trajectory, his time as a printer, seafarer, cabinet maker, car worker, the changes in his political development and the issues and individuals he met and dealt with along the way.
Celebrated film maker and playwright Jimmy McGovern says "This is just not one man's story. It's the story of Liverpool, beautiful, bolshie, passionate Liverpool. I couldn't put it down."
