I B Tauris, London and New York, 2006, first edition; 8vo, 160 x 240mm; pp xvii, 246; 16 illustrations; black cloth titled gilt on the spine, pictorial dust wrapper, copy in exceptional condition. . . . . . Nevinson was a British war correspondent and a campaigning journalist during the second Boer War and WWI. Earlier he had been a missionary at Toynbee Hall in London's East End, later formally becoming a socialist, a member of the Social Democratic Federation, the first British organised socialist party, and a friend of Petr Kropotkin and of Edward Carpenter. He was noted for his reports on slavery in Angola in 1904-1905 where he uncovered and followed a trail to the plantation of Sao Tome. He later reported on India for the Manchester Guardian. Not surprisingly, he supported the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War and was strongly hostile to the systems of persecution and suppression under Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin.
