Publisher's Synopsis
England is ruled by Jobling, a dictator with an efficient secret police and a long memory. Richard Watt used all his journalistic talents to expose Jobling before he came to power. Now, in exile in Italy, Watt cultivates his vineyards. His rural idyll is shattered by the arrival of an emissary from London. Derek Raymond's deft skill is to make all too plausible the transition to dictatorship in an England obsessed with ?looking after number one?. First published in 1970, A State of Denmark is a classic.
