Summary "The True Story of My Parliamentary Struggle" by Charles Bradlaugh is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book documents Bradlaugh's conflict with the British Parliament regarding his right to affirm rather than take an oath, which stemmed from his status as an atheist. This struggle highlights significant themes such as religious beliefs, civic rights, and the complexities of the parliamentary process, making it pertinent for readers interested in political history and the evolution of secularism. At the start of the narrative, Bradlaugh introduces the context of his parliamentary struggle, noting the widespread misunderstanding of his situation, and outlines his intention to clarify the events that transpired in the House of Commons. He recounts his claim to affirm rather than take the traditional oath prescribed for members of Parliament, referencing the Evidence Amendment Acts as the legal foundation for his assertion. The opening portion also details the formation of a Select Committee that was appointed to investigate his claim, establishing a backdrop for the unfolding legal and political drama that follows.
