The problem I found with this book is that it tried to claim Orwell predicted current political events which I didn't find very convincing at all. Also the book veered off at times into bizarre attacks on Jeremy Corbyn which had no relevance to the focus of the book which should have been George Orwell. The attacks on Corbyn were supposed to be linked to political points in Orwell's life but the links were tenuous at best.

Over seventy years after the death of George Orwell, Richard Bradford's new biography, convincingly argues the case for the Animal Farm and 1984's continued importance in the 21st century.
In addition to the biographical details of Orwell's eventful life - his unhappy schooldays, his years in the Burmese police force, his genuine heroism fighting fascism during the Spanish Civil War- the book links Orwell's writing to the 21st century by linking it to recent trends such as the endless distortions of the truth by the now disgraced former US President Donald Trump and by current UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson as well as the bitter antisemitism row which undermined Jeremy Corbyn's spell as leader of the Labour Party to show how Orwell today remains as relevant as ever.
