The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius
by George Orwell and Bernard Crick
"As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me." So starts this 1941 essay in which Orwell argues that the outdated British class system was hampering the war effort, and that in order to defeat Hitler, Britain needed a socialist revolution.
