Printing Details
First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22.5 × 14.5cm, 338pp
L J Macfarlane traces the formation of the Communist Party of Great Britain, from its confusing and conflicting reformism, syndicalism, and anti-parliamentarianism in the years after the Great War, through its chequered career of alternately supporting and opposing the Labour Party, sometimes both at the same time, its work with the trade unions and relationship with the unemployed, its part on the General Strike of 1926, through to 1929 when "the Party was in a bad state, its membership was falling away and those who remained were engaged in bitter dissension and dispute."
Condition
There is heavy foxing to the pages' top edge, and a little to the fore-edge and margins. This was a review copy from the publishers who laid a slip in with a staple which has rusted and marked the front pastedown and ffep a little. However, the book is in strong readable condition.
