‘The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius’ is a key insight into George Orwell’s political philosophy. Containing scathing remarks about Britain’s political, economic and social state, both at the turn of the century and at times of total war, ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’ identifies what must be done in order to correct the course in a conflict which will determine its destiny. A very good read and one that is indispensable in understanding not only Orwell’s theory, but the state of the United Kingdom and the Empire at the time.
