This book provides an essential history of the UK labour movement, told from the perspective of one of its most resolute, path-breaking leaders. In addition, it contains explosive revelations which are pertinent to recent and ongoing events in parliamentary politics. From the Thatcher years to Corbyn's rise to Labour leadership, from the Hillsborough disaster to the EU referendum, this book provides a gripping and informative overview of the Left's political history, woven together with McCluskey's personal anecdotes and insights. It further outlines a path forward for trade unions as they navigate the difficult terrains of a post-Brexit Britain, the gig economy, and declining youth political engagement. What shines through consistently in these pages is the strategy of "fighting back" which Unite has come to be known for under McCluskey's leadership. This book should appeal to the Labour Left disappointed at Corbyn's defeat and with Starmer's present leadership of the party, to trade unionists, and to a broader public interested in labour history, political history, and Brexit.
