'Harry Leslie Smith is a vital and powerful voice speaking across generations about the struggle for a just society' Jeremy Corbyn
THIS A CALL TO ARMS FOR THE MANY, NOT THE FEW: DON'T LET THE PAST BECOME OUR FUTURE
Harry Leslie Smith is a great British stalwart. A survivor of the Great Depression, a Second World War veteran, a lifelong Labour supporter and a proud Yorkshire man, Harry's life has straddled two centuries. As a young man, he witnessed a country in crisis with no healthcare, no relief for the poor, and a huge economic gulf between the North and South. Now in his nineties, Harry wanders through the streets of his youth and wonders whether anything has actually changed.
Britain is at its most dangerous juncture since Harry's youth - the NHS and social housing are in crisis, whilst Brexit and an unpopular government continue to divide the country - but there is hope. Just as Clement Attlee provided hope in 1945, Labour's triumphant comeback of June 2017 is a beacon of light in this season of discontent. Britain has overcome adversity before and will do so again - a new nation will be forged from the ashes of grave injustice.
Moving and passionate, Don't Let My Past be Your Future interweaves memoir and polemic in a call to arms. Above all, this book is a homage to the boundless grace and resilience of the human spirit.

Truely amazing man with a heartfelt message for all to hear
Important, heart rending and necessary.
Brilliant and passionately written. Opening up a very personal and hard past, to examine what we face today. With the one question, what future do you want?
Being a baby-boomer, and a middle-class one at that, I found this a real eye-opener, and it helped explain the significance of Labour Party/socialism to someone who's always been that way inclined but without realising the extremities of experience that have shaped people's adherence to the politics of the left.Needs reading by lots of people. I'll be passing my copy on.
This book has reinstalled a confidence in political involvement and humanity in me that had become jaded by the effects of uncaring governments, Harry Smiths warnings need to be heard everywhere in the UK before the next general election, the young voters need to take heed of his warnings of failure to engage and work actively to reestablish a socially responsible form of government before the wealthy few commit the many to privation and servitude, desperation and hopelessness
Don't Let My Past Be Your Future: A Call to Arms (Kindle Edition)by Harry Leslie Smith A Negative Spin, but it Works!Any good publicist will tell you that a negative spin is the most difficult spin of all. In this book, which is part autobiography and part political tract, Harry Leslie Smith attempts to sell us on the Welfare State by describing his impoverished childhood in a Northern English slum (Barnsley, Yorkshire) during the Great Depression. Without the protections of life, health,
