First published in 1977. This book describes the growth of
revolutionary organisations in Britain from 1900 onwards. It shows
that there was an indigenous movement that developed quite
independently from the left in other countries, although its basic
outlook was remarkably similar to that of the Bolsheviks in Russia.
The study concentrates the activities of the Socialist Labour
Party, a small group of dedicated revolutionaries, whose impact on
working-class politics had not been fully recognised. The most
controversial section of the book deals with the Russian influence
on the machinations that led to the formation of the British
Communist Party. It is critical of Lenin, who sometimes gave advice
on the basis of insufficient knowledge, and of Comitern agents,
like Theodore Rothstein, with dubious political backgrounds. This
title will be of great interest to students of politics,
philosophy, and history.
