Description
Militant: A Masterly Work of Investigative Journalism In 1984, Michael Crick's book Militant was widely acclaimed as a groundbreaking work of investigative journalism. This book explores the origins, organisation and aims of a secret Trotskyite organisation that operated clandestinely within the Labour Party. At its peak in the mid-1980s, Militant boasted around 8,000 members, all of whom also belonged to the Labour Party. Crick's book delves into the famous boss politics of Derek Hatton and the party hierarchy's attempts to squash the tendency. This important historical document provides a unique insight into how hard-left factions can infiltrate the Labour party. Today, Militant is seen as a field guide for understanding the complexities of left-wing politics within the party.
