Produktbeschreibung
The inside story of how accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party resulted in a Labour MP losing his seat. Containing explosive revelations of what really went on at the heart of the Labour Party during those turbulent years, this book considers what happens when false allegations turn into a political witch-hunt not too dissimilar to McCarthyism in the 1950s. Ably demonstrating that the facts were continually misreported by a media clique, and rarely challenged by supposed allies, Garratt's words and simple, yet meticulous piecing together of events expose a shameful period in British political history; one which most people shut their eyes to or meekly surrendered and acquiesced when met with a dominant 'truth'. *This book contains undisclosed & private Labour Party suspension letters
