Asa's book is regarded as the definitive work on this period in history when Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party was plagued with accusations of anti-Semitism. In the absence of any critical thinking from the UK corporate press we need to turn to journalists who are prepared to get to the truth by asking awkward questions. One such journalist is Asa Winstanley. He has produced a book that has forensically examined the campaign against Corbyn showing how Labour's anti-Semitism crisis was manufactured by those who feared his support for the Palestinian cause and his broadly progressive policies.
Background information about Asa's book, the role the Israel lobby played during this period and the bitter internal war fought by unelected officers of the Labour Party:
