Beskrivning

This is a study of the development of George Orwell's political ideas and beliefs from his time as a policeman in Burma through to the publication of "Nineteen Eighty Four". It places Orwell's thinking in historical context, examining his response to mass unemployment in 1930s Britain, to revolution in Spain, to the impact of the World War II and its aftermath. Orwell remained both an anti Stalinist and a socialist up until his death.

'My main criticism of this book (a compliment by another name) is that I wanted it to be longer.' - Robert Pearce, History Today 'an extremely useful addition to the literature on Orwell'. - Frank Field, History 'A vigorous thrashing defence of Orwell'. - Robert Colls, History Workshop 'Newsinger has given as good an account of Orwell as a political thinker - never a systematic one, always a stimulating one - as we are likely to find in this generation'. - Bernard Crick, Political Quarterly
