First published 1969. This edition September 1995. With a new Introduction by Chris Bambery. Main text begins at page 7 in paper edition, no print pages 1-6 therein. [rear cover:] "A History of Communism in Britain. Brian Pearce and Michael Woodhouse. "Today, as working class organisation and confidence is experiencing a period of recovery after a decade of defeat in the 1980s, this book deserves to be read again." --Chris Bambery. Originally written by socialists in the late 1960s, this history of the Communist Party of Great Britain shows the strengths and weaknesses of the party as it established itself. With a new introduction, the book helps to disentangle the real tradition of socialism from the legacy of Stalinism and draws out lessons from which all socialists can learn."
