Summary

Orwell's reputation - as political seer, novelist, propagandist and diarist - only grows with the passage of time. He also lived an extraordinary varied life, as a colonial policeman, drop out and Spanish Civil War volunteer. This new and thoroughly-researched life brings out many few facts about the man and sets out to re-evaluate his significance.
