Demolishing the Blairite opposition in 2015, Jeremy Corbyn saw off
an attempted coup against his leadership under the banner of the
"soft left" one year on. This unassuming antiwar socialist now
leads Labour with a huge mandate. For the first time in decades,
socialism is back on the agenda-and for the first time in Labour's
history, it defines the leadership. This book tells the story of
how Corbyn's rise was made possible by the long decline of Labour
and a deep crisis in 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 thrown at him. And finally it asks, with
all the artillery that is still ranged against Corbyn, given the
crisis-ridden Labour Party that he has inherited, the devastating
impact of the coup attempt and the fall-out from Brexit, what it
would mean for him to succeed.
