James Maxton was Britain's most charismatic socialist politician of the interwar period, seen by many as a potential prime minister. MP for Bridgeton in Glasgow from 1922 till his death in 1946, Maxton was intimately involved in the strikes of Red Clydeside, and his career straddled the great events that shaped modern Britain—two wars, the General Strike and Great Depression, the Means Test and Hunger Marches, and the rise of the Labour Party. In this biography, Brown depicts one of the great periods in the history of the Labour Movement.

Maxton: A Biography
The book started off with a neutral stance on
Marx/ism. However as the book progressed, the author began to seem more and more against what they were writing about, until straightforwardly attempting to debunk Marx/ism more towards the end (especially in the last two chapters). Although this did effect my experience with the book, it was to be expected with whichever book I picked up on the subject.
On a positive note, I did learn more about the life of Karl Marx and his writings as well. The author does a good job of telling some details of Marx's life.
For Marxists or those interested in related topics, this book is worth picking up with the expectations that you will at times find yourself scoffing at the text in front you.
