Jeremy Corbyn, the "dark horse" candidate for the Labour
leadership, won and won big. With a landslide in the first round,
this unassuming antiwar socialist crushed the opposition,
particularly the Blairite opposition. For the first time in
decades, socialism is back on the agenda-and for the first time in
Labour's history, it controls the leadership. The party machine
couldn't stop him. An almost unanimous media campaign couldn't stop
him. It is as if their power, like that of the Wizard of Oz, was
always mostly illusion. Now Corbyn has one chance to convince the
public to support his reforming ambitions. Where did he come from,
and what chance does he have? This book tells the story of how
Corbyn's rise was made possible by the long decline of Labour and a
deep crisis of British democracy. It surveys the makeshift
coalition of trade unionists, young and precarious workers, and
students, who rallied to Corbyn. It shows how a novel social media
campaign turned the media's "Project Fear" on its head, making a
virtue of every accusation they threw at him. And finally it asks,
with all the artillery that is still ranged against Corbyn, and
given the crisis-ridden Labour Party that he has inherited, what it
would mean for him to succeed.
