He has remained in the news, particularly since, in 1996, a major Australian newspaper published an article claiming he had received the Order of Lenin.

For example, his rebuke of 'the colossal effrontery to attempt to apply the principles and methods of the bookkeeper to the subject of human happines' resounds just as surely today as when it was first spoken. This is Manning's book. Before his death in 1991, he assembled these forty speeches and lectures for publication, grouping them as History, Politics, Literature, Friends. Newcomers curious as to why his work ans person have sparked such furious debate will find clues here, in the conjunction of his passionate public voice with his persistent personal vulnerability and self-doubt. Older readers who themselves heard Manning speak from the lectern, the pulpit or the soapbox will instantly recognise his unmistakeable voice and language. Sprache: english.
