What happens if a radical government gets elected in Britain? How will the banks, the civil servants, the media and the military react? Is the idea of a British coup far-fetched?

Don’t be fooled again, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get fooled again!

An excellent eye-opening straight-to-the-point summary of the real history of the British state and how far it differs from the benign narrative we would prefer to believe. If you thought the establishment had attacked Corbyn enough over bad clothes, mixing with terrorists, not bowing low enough to the Queen, being in chronic bad health etc then read this book to prepare for the onslaught of attacks from the establishment should Corbyn get elected. Short, sharp and accessible - it doesn't pull its punches and nor should we!

dry, a touch boring, but ultimately an important book

Expected a more thorough analysis of the functioning of the state. Instead it was a fairly standard Trotskyist extended journalism.
