Literary Nonfiction. History & Politics. A few months ago, few had heard much about mild-mannered backbench MP Jeremy Corbyn.

Stephen Gilbert has crafted a brief, lucid, compelling and readable study of the politician we will all be talking about for years to come. This is the necessary primer to find out what you need to know.
