Thank you, Michael Portillo for reminding him that he was against ALL totalitarianism, not only the fascist one. He was a victim of the show trials that took place in Spain too, the party was purged in the same way it was done in the Soviet Union.
"How the Poor Die" recounts his time, very ill, in a Paris hospital; waking up from a "cupping" to see other ward inmates gathered around his bed to see how he would cope with the pain.
Fascinating and illuminating piece.
Superb discussion. Thank you.
