English Radicalism in the Twentieth Century - A Distinctive Politics?

Informationen zum Autor Richard Taylor was very much influenced by his service in the Vietnam War as a young officer and later in the Philippines as a senior officer. His seminal work, "Prodigals: A Vietnam Story" is an account of a young man facing the rigors and trials of war, then living with them for the rest of his life.Now retired, he resides with the love of his life and all his writings have been about love in wartime. Klappentext English radicalism has been a persistent and important, though minority, strand in English political culture since at least the English Civil War. This book explores, in historical context, the nature of this radicalism - its beliefs, practice and importance - in the twentieth century.
