Based on a decade of research in over twenty archives, The
Chronology of Revolution is an accessible and richly detailed work
of historical and cultural analysis that fixes its gaze on the
legacy of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). Communists
anticipated that the party, formed in the world's first
industrialized nation, would be in the vanguard of world
revolution. Instead, the party never came close to matching the
political power of the British Labour Party or continental
Communist Parties in France or Italy and dissolved itself in 1991.
In this book, Ben Harker draws on the ideas of Antonio Gramsci to
argue that the CPGB, despite having great influence over British
culture, never fully appreciated the importance of civil society to
its political strength. Analysing party members' efforts in fields
such as science, journalism, the arts, broadcasting, and education,
The Chronology of Revolution offers an alternative, radical history
of Britain between 1920 and 1991 that draws out important lessons
for the contemporary Left.
