The Volunteers by Raymond Williams

The Volunteers by Raymond Williams

Power and politics corrupt...this is the future. A worker is killed in the striking coalfields of south Wales. Some months later a government minister suspected of being connected with the death is shot. Lewis Redfern, once a radical, now a political analyst and journalist, pursues the killer, a lonely hunt that leads him through a maze of government leaks and international politics to a secret organization: a source of insurrection far more powerful than anyone could have suspected - the world of the Volunteers. A compelling thriller, 'The Volunteers' is also an engrossing reminder of the conflict between moral choice and political loyalty for through his obsessive pursuit of justice, Redfern finally encounters the truth about himself.

"Every reader of the "The Volunteers" can testify to its power and pace as a detective thriller" --Tony Pinkey, author

He returned to Cambridge as a Lecturer in 1961 and was appointed its first Professor of Drama in 1974. His best- known publications include 'Culture and Society'(1958),'The Long Revolution'(1961),'The Country and the City' (1973), 'Keywords' (1976) and 'Marxism and Literature' (1977)..
