Book Synopsis
Examines the coming of age experiences of young men and women who became active in radical left circles in 1960s England.

Trade Review

'Hughes’ book provides ballast for the ongoing historiographical project of moving beyond the hackneyed caricatures, slogans and images that still form our primary points of reference when discussing the 1960s. This makes Young lives on the Left a worthy addition to the growing body of work that’s serving to build up a richer and more nuanced picture of the changes that took place during the mid-20th Century.'
Josh Allen, Journal of History and Cultures, Vol. 7, 2017
