Yours for the Revolution — the evolution of Tom Mann’s political thought
PHIL KATZ, Manifesto Press, £20.00
“WHAT drove Mann? A belief in revolution.”
Phil Katz’s biography of Tom Mann is most assuredly an important and timely reappraisal of a great life.
But it is much more than that — due in large part to the author’s own longevity as an activist. It is both a clarion call to, and a handbook for, today’s socialists and communists to further stiffen their resolve and intensify the class struggle as it presents itself to them in their specific situations, regardless of the seeming enormity of the forces arraigned against us.
