Description
A first edition, first printing of Freedom and Reality by Enoch Powell, published by Paperfront Books, Surrey in 1969.

Freedom and Reality gathers speeches and writings by the Conservative politician Enoch Powell. The collection presents his arguments for liberty, limited government, free markets, national sovereignty and realism, rejecting state planning and incomes policies. It also includes his controversial 1968 Birmingham address on Commonwealth immigration, later known as the “Rivers of Blood” speech. The book provides an important primary record of Powell’s influential, rigorous but divisive political thought.
