Unter Linken(de)
In Germany, left-wingers do not have to justify their views. They have established their opinions across the board, not among the people, but in the circles that set the tone, i.e. where they prefer to be at home. Those on the left have the wonderful feeling of always being right. In politics, the left has often been wrong, but somehow that doesn't matter, they are always credited with the best motives. Why is that? Jan Fleischhauer has spent a large part of his life among left-wingers - from his parents' home to school and university to the journalists' milieu in which he has worked for two decades. Now he takes a close look at them, with the detachment of someone who at some point discovered that he no longer belonged. The book is an analysis, polemic and personal experience report. A foray through the empire of the left.
