From the highly acclaimed novelist, script editor, journalist and writer Williams Ash, a clear, rooted, account of the importance of socialist ideas within the Marxist tradition. Ash, a decorated war hero and leading trade unionist and thinker, has written something of great importance to a new generation of those fighting for peace and progress. Anti globalisation protesters, trade unionists and genuinely worried workers will find this book a major wake up call to the simple, yet increasingly relevant concepts that underpin socialism. The author considers values, rights, obligations and alienation and social change and shows how the modern ideas of workers, concentrated into Marxism, have enhanced the best thought of the past and offer us something powerful today. Born in Texas in 1917, William Ash joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1939 and was then sent to England where he flew Spitfires. Shot down over France in 1942, he became a POW.
