About this product
Product Information
Human Rights -- Equality -- Free Speech -- Privacy -- The Rule of Law These five ideas are vitally important to the way of life we enjoy today. The battle to establish them in law was long and difficult, and Anthony Lester was at the heart of the thirty-year campaign that resulted in the Human Rights Act, as well as the struggle for race and gender equality that culminated in the Equality Act of 2010. Today, however, our society is at risk of becoming less equal. From Snowden's revelations about our own intelligence agencies spying on us to the treatment of British Muslims, our civil liberties are under threat like never before. The internet leaves our privacy at risk in myriad ways, our efforts to combat extremism curtail free speech, and cuts to legal aid and interference with access to justice endangers the rule of law. A fierce argument for why we must act now to ensure the survival of the ideals which enable us to live freely, Five Ideas to Fight For is a revealing account of what we need to protect our hard-won rights and freedoms.

'A powerful rallying cry for the creation of a civilised world made by the founding father of modern human rights in the UK - a hero of our times.', 'Tells the story of an unparalleled life and work shaping the law. Anthony Lester inspires us to defend our Human Rights Act in difficult times.', 'Five Ideas to Fight For is the powerful and provocative distillation of a lifetime of conviction and reminds us all in Lord Lester's own words that "there is never a time for apathy - especially now."', 'Illuminating and accessible...[Lester] speaks with enormous authority... Five Ideas to Fight For summarises what we have gained, and the dangers we still face from political hostility, ignorance and apathy.', 'This is not just another book on human rights. Anthony Lester's "Five Ideas" are those which have made the United Kingdom a free country. He himself has fought to maintain them, both in the courts and in Parliament, often with signal success. His account is practical and realistic - and a very good read.', 'Anthony Lester has long been one of our foremost champions of human rights and free speech. How wonderful that he has now gathered his years of experience into a book that tells us why these values matter.', 'His five principles are of immense importance to everyone in this country. They go to the heart of British values... His spirited defence of the "Five Ideas" and why and how they must be defended, deserves to reach the largest possible audience.', 'Passionate, and personal...nobody could finish Five Ideas To Fight For doubting that Anthony Lester has been an immense force for good.', 'Anthony Lester's legacy of laws that promote equality, uphold individual liberty and protect human rights, is a remarkable one.', 'All the forces that, for decades, abused the human rights of the thalidomide children, are on the rise again in an ugly xenophobic populism: those who have the loudest voices have the smallest vision. They must be repulsed and there is no better person to summon us to the ramparts than the author of this exciting book.', 'In this stirring call to action, Britain's greatest human rights lawyer issues a challenging, and compelling, agenda for change.', 'Anthony Lester is one of the world's foremost advocates of rights. His advocacy reflects his deep understanding of the principles at stake, his formidable skills as a litigator, and his passionate commitments in dealing with such issues as equality and freedom of expression. Reading this book is like holding a conversation with him. His opinions and his arguments are bracing and incisive and the entire experience is intellectually exciting.', 'A finely written and scrupulously accurate account of how human rights stand in Britain today and a clarion call for further struggle fully to achieve them... eloquent, liberal and street-wise, Lord Lester makes a compelling case against complacency... a book that should be required reading for MPs, newspaper editors and civil servants, so many of whom fail to understand the importance to our nation of protecting and enhancing civil liberties.', 'Anthony Lester has spent his life in the dedicated pursuit of freedom and justice, both as a lawyer and as a member of the House of Lords. We need to listen to his urgent case for upholding these core values and be inspired by the courage and passion with which he continues to fight for them.', ' Tells the story of an unparalleled life and work shaping the law. Anthony Lester inspires us to defend our Human Rights Act in difficult times.', 'Anthony Lester has pioneered a new style of autobiography. It links his intellectual, philosophical and legal journeys through life with both great principles and his most cherished causes. It works. A fascinating and inspiring read.', ' Five Ideas to Fight For is the powerful and provocative distillation of a lifetime of conviction and reminds us all in Lord Lester's own words that "there is never a time for apathy - especially now."', 'Illuminating and accessible...[Lester] speaks with enormous authority...Five Ideas to Fight For summarises what we have gained, and the dangers we still face from political hostility, ignorance and apathy.', 'This powerful, elegant book is a distillation of decades of commitment to the advancement of human rights across the globe by one of the foremost lawyers of our time. It is a clarion call to action for all of us, in the United States as much as in his own country. Five Ideas to Fight For should be required reading for every lawyer and every politician.', 'Animated by the desire to protect fundamental human rights and freedoms in a long and distinguished career in law as a practitioner and lawmaker, Anthony Lester makes a passionate case for the defence of these rights - so hard won and so much under threat today. The legal arena has become an important part of the political struggle for change, a development that is mapped in this beautifully accessible book.', 'Lester has dedicated his life to these causes. His personal anecdotes...are often frank admissions of how hard his work has been...This is what gives his book its special quality: few other lawyers would be able to do the subject matter justice.', 'Anthony Lester has throughout his life - and often far in advance of his times - been an eloquent fighter for freedom of speech, equality under the law, protection from official arbitrariness and much else besides. His views and actions - as lawyer, legislator and citizen - have often irked those in power but have conduced to justice, human dignity and a sense of reasonableness and decency in the world around him. In this book he combines legal and political argument with telling personal anecdote - and he does so with a most engaging combination of practicality and passion.'

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
