THE Communist Party has had an influence on the achievements of the British labour movement in far more diverse ways than was previously realised
This thematic analysis of the Communist Party’s first 100 years of revolutionary struggle is an honest and thoughtful account. It will be of great value to everyone from the party’s longest-serving activists to the many new members who have joined over the last 12 months.
Aligned as a companion to Red Lives, which biographically highlighted the extraordinary contributions of many less well-known comrades from previous generations, A Centenary for Socialism is helpfully clear as to what it is and is not.
