Solo Trumpet was a "racy autobiography". Historian Stuart Macintyre has described Jackson's book Dialectics: The Logic of Marxism and its Critics as "perhaps... the most considerable literary achievement of Jackson's generation of working-class intellectuals". In the early 1930s, he was secretary of the League of Militant Atheists. Jackson's 1935 pamphlet The Jubilee- and How was a critique of the British monarchy, arguing the Silver Jubilee of George V was inappropriate at a time of widespread unemployment. Death and legacy Tommy Jackson died at Clare, Suffolk on 18 August 1955, just three days shy of his 76th birthday. Bibliography as T. A. Jackson, published by Lawrence and Wishart.
