This companion volume to The Roots of American Communism brings to
completion what the author describes as the essence of the
relationship of American Communism to Soviet Russia in the first
decade after the Bolsheviks seized power. The outpouring of new
archive materials makes it plain that Draper's premise is direct
and to the point: The communist movement "was transformed from a
new expression of American radicalism to the American appendage of
a Russian revolutionary power." Each generation must find this out
for itself, and no better guide exists than the work of master
historian Theodore Draper. American Communism and Soviet Russia is
acknowledged to be the classic, authoritative history of the
critical formative period of the American Communist Party. Based on
confidential minutes of the top party committees, interviews with
party leaders, and public records, this book carefully documents
the influence of the Soviet Union on the fundamental nature of
American Communism. Draper's reflections on that period in this
edition are a fitting capstone to this pioneering effort.
