Publisher's Synopsis
In this work, Baruch Hirson, a confirmed Trotskyist who spent seven years in jail in the 1960s for his part in the activities of the African Resistance Movement, traces his life from his early days in Johannesburg's immigrant Jewish community through the prison experience to exile in England. Hirson includes descriptions of the dialogues and debates which characterized left-wing politics in the years between the 1940s and the 1960s.
