Written by journalist and socialist Paul Foot, the book dissects Powell's trajectory from academic prodigy to Conservative MP, culminating in his notorious 1968 Rivers of Blood speech that ignited a national firestorm over immigration and race. Foot argues with unflinching clarity that Powell's populist rhetoric, far from being principled conservatism, was a calculated appeal to racial anxieties that reshaped British political discourse for decades. Sharp, polemical, and meticulously researched, the work stands as both a character study and a damning indictment of demagoguery in democratic politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956127084763,"sku":"2026200010937-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0e54efe7-812b-4cfc-abfe-20c5473b9b07.png?v=1783498074","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010937-secondhand-the-rise-of-enoch-powell","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
