I want to tell you what the world looks like through my eyes, so that you can help change it??????In November 2013, 91-year-old Yorkshireman, RAF veteran and ex-carpet salesman Harry Leslie Smith???s Guardian article ??? ???This year, I will wear a poppy for the last time??? ??? was shared over 80,000 times on Facebook and started a huge debate about the state of society.Now he brings his unique perspective to bear on NHS cutbacks, benefits policy, political corruption, food poverty, the cost of education ??? and much more. From the deprivation of 1930s Barnsley and the terror of war to the creation of our welfare state, Harry has experienced how a great civilisation can rise from the rubble. But at the end of his life, he fears how easily it is being eroded.Harry???s Last Stand is a lyrical, searing modern invective that shows what the past can teach us, and how the future is ours for the taking.
