Ted Grant was a well-known figure in the international Marxist movement. He had a significant impact on British politics. When he died all the most important newspapers carried extensive obituaries that recognised this fact. This is a remarkable work that comprehensively covers the development of Ted's life and ideas, starting from his early family background in Johannesburg right up to his death in London in 2006 at the age of 93. From his earliest youth in South Africa Ted Grant dedicated his life to the struggle for the emancipation of the working class. Moving to Britain in 1934 to seek new horizons, within a decade he had become the leading theoretician of the Trotskyist movement. The book deals with the launch of the Fourth International and Ted's battle to defend the ideas of Trotsky, which brought him into conflict with the leaders of the International after the Second World War. It explains the important theoretical questions and debates of this period and it outlines Ted Grant's important theoretical contribution to Marxism. Ted was the founder and theoretical inspirer of the Militant Tendency, which Michael Crick once described as the fifth political party in Britain. The book traces the rise and fall of Militant. It provides a fascinating insight into a subject that remains a closed book to most political analysts even now. This is a truly amazing story of a truly amazing man, told with style, colour and wit. At the end you will feel that you have known Ted Grant all your life. The author, Alan Woods, has written many books on Marxism, was influential in the political evolution of Hugo Chávez and is the editor of the widely read website Marxist.com. He is a leading figure in the Socialist Appeal and the International Marxist Tendency.

Excellent biography

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015

Excellent introduction to the ideas of Ted Grant, the Militant Tendency and the history of Revolutionary Marxism and the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) in Britain, now represented by Socialist Appeal and www.marxist.com

It helps that the writer is also a life-long friend, comrade and collaborator of Ted Grant, and has tremendous insight that is quite simply unaccessible to any outsiders.

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013

A life is only valuable when it has an object of value. That is what the life of Ted Grant has shown. Always optimistic, Ted kept moving forward when many, including many of his comrades, had fallen to the side. The Revolution owes him a gratitude that can only be paid by building a revolutionary organization capable of leading the working class.

The book is successful in telling the story of the life of a man of great stature. It is not an easy task to capture the legacy of Ted Grant in mere 300 pages, but Alan has managed to do just so. A must read book for those who are serious in liberating humankind from this atrocity that is capitalism.

The history of Ted Grant is the history of keeping the spark of Marxism alive under the most difficult conditions. Despite all the odds he succeeded and that spark will go on to light the world on fire.
