Paul Foot 1937- 2004 obituaries and appreciations

category international | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Tuesday July 27, 2004 18:06author by SWP member Report this post to the editors

Obituaries and appreciations of Paul Foot

Paul Foot, who died last weekend, was one of the greatest socialist writers and orators of his generation, who inspired thousands of activists from the time he became a socialist in the early 1960s until the last week of his life. He was also a celebrated campaigning journalist, who supported workers in struggle and took up cases of wrongful imprisonment, bringing about the resignation of a Tory home secretary and helping to free many innocent people from jail.

Here are a few links to obituaries and appreciations of Paul.
