Live And Learn a life and struggle for progress Item Info

Live and Learn a Life and Struggle For Progress is the biography of Les Moss recorded through various interviews by a collective of authors at QueenSparks Books. Moss begins with his childhood and takes the reader through various periods of his life, including working as a skilled engineer, life in Brighton during World War II, his work as a union organizer and his extensive political activism, and a botched surgery that left Moss with a permanent disability. He describes his political awakening that changed the course of his life in detail. Moss is informed by Marxism, and he devotes a large section of his biography to explaining the changing situation of the worker with tangible examples. In addition to the testimonial, the book features various personal photographs and public documents that supplement the narrative. Part autobiography, part history of union organizing, part political treatise, and part medical exposé, Live and Learn blends the personal and the political, creating a compelling depiction of one individual and his place in a larger society.
