This unusual collection of articles and reviews charts George Orwell's development from action research journalist to profound political thinker. Accompanied by a superb introduction and tragi-comic annotations, his life and times come alive.With his renowned clarity, Orwell explains capitalism, communism, democracy, fascism and socialism, dissects nationalism in a legendary exposition, sketches the great and the bad, including Churchill, Gandhi and Hitler, and discusses Europe, Palestine and Zionism. Particularly startling is Orwell's continuing relevance. He describes antisemitic responses from those who would not dream of being considered antisemitic, racism conducted as a matter of economic convenience, and the rise of nationalist fervour. George Orwell represents humanity with bravery and realism. Controversially, he also promotes freedom of speech for the unspeakable.
