Revolutionary Lives | Verso Reading
Biographies and memoirs of people who've lived extraordinary, complex lives including Paul Foot, Marx, Toussaint Louverture, and Rigoberta Menchú.
Paul Foot wrote about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events, and the issues in some of his campaigns maintained their prominence long after his death in 2004: police corruption in the Stephen Lawrence case; sexual abuse in children’s homes; the Lockerbie bombing.
In this, the first biography of Paul Foot, journalist Margaret Renn traces Foot’s personal, political and professional trajectories, placing his life and works within the long arc of postwar Britain.
