Ben Harker, "The Chronology of Revolution: Communism, Culture, and Civil Society in Twentieth-Century Britain"
English | ISBN: 1487507399 | 2021 | 376 pages | PDF | 4 MB
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.
