Wide-ranging and richly researched, this is the first sourcebook to
reconstruct the tumultuous history of the Communist Party of Great
Britain. Drawing together over one hundred and fifty
documents-including party statements, press releases, published
correspondence, reviews, poems, cartoons and articles-it presents a
detailed portrait of the party, its abiding concerns and its many
contradictions from the 1920s to the 1980s. It samples voices from
the full spectrum of the party's diverse personnel, from
longstanding party leaders (Harry Pollitt, Rajani Palme Dutt), to
prominent twentieth-century British intellectuals (E. P. Thompson,
Eric Hobsbawm), to significant cultural figures (Jack Lindsay, Alan
Bush, A.L. Lloyd). Balanced, comprehensive and framed by Callaghan
and Harker's detailed introductions, British Communism: A
documentary history is not only a valuable addition to the
historiography of Communism, but to the study of twentieth-century
Britain. -- .
