Following the overwhelming success of Harry's Last Stand, his new memoir, Don't Let My Past Be Your Future, is a survival guide for today's generations who need hope from someone who has seen Britain face both the Great Depression and the Second World War. It is a manifesto for the left to rebuild itself with integrity after its shattering defeat in the 2015 General Election. However, Don't Let My Past Be Your Future also has a much wider and more enduring appeal - at its heart is a homage to the boundless grace and resilience of the human spirit to overcome poverty, war, oppression, economic and social justice and build a more perfect society.
