Inside Left

'Inside Left' is a political memoir with a difference; not the self-justifications of an ex-Prime Minister, but the perspective of a grassroots activist well known in the political circles of Kent in South East England. Roger Truelove also reveals his other great life-long passions, education, and cricket, with some unique and utterly fascinating observations.

Prime Ministers and test cricketers also appear but so too does an American PE teacher who believed that when the lights went out in Massachusetts in 1965, it was orchestrated by Hitler. There is both great joy and great sorrow in this book, at a personal level but also anger with our contemporary politics. The book concludes with Roger's unique leadership of a five-party coalition on his council.
