Left Book Club
The Left Book Club, founded in 1936, was a key left-wing institution of the late 1930s and 1940s in the United Kingdom. The club, run by Victor Gollancz, supplied a book chosen every month by Gollancz and his panel – himself, Harold Laski and John Strachey – to its members, who by the outbreak of the second world war numbered 57,000, many of whom participated in one or other of the 1,500 or so Left Discussion Groups scattered around the country.
