'Meticulously researched and written with an evident love and admiration' -- Marcus Barnett, Tribune
'Highly absorbing ... an indispensable life is restored to the landscape of anti-fascist history' -- Alan Wald, author of 'Exiles from a Future Time: The Forging of the Mid-Twentieth-Century Literary Left'
'This incredibly brave, remarkably vibrant young militant has much to teach through his resistance to racism and fascist violence, and his struggle for a socialist future worthy of human beings' -- Paul Le Blanc, author of 'Revolutionary Studies: Theory, History, People'
'A lively, readable and often moving narrative. Monath was a genuine internationalist and his life has many lessons for activists in our own day' -- Ian Birchall
