Tony Cliff came to political consciousness in the darkest period of the 20th Century and spent his life developing revolutionary Marxism against Stalinism. From his early days as a revolutionary in British-occupied Palestine, through years of obscurity and isolation in London and Dublin to the high points of struggle in post-war Britain, Cliff worked to restore lost ideas and traditions, fan flames of resistance and develop our understanding of a system in constant change.
This lovingly crafted biography is the culmination of years of work, drawing on interviews with over 100 people who knew Cliff and painstaking research in archives around the world.
