Party People Communist Lives Explorations in Biography

As a result of research in the previously closed archives in Moscow, this collection of biographical essays depicts the lives of British revolutionaries and a group of British Communists in the beginning of the 20th century. The biographies include daredevil female Communists, hardy trade union leaders, and an odd sexual outlaw, as well as the traditional lawyers, poets, and critics. Through the diverse and pioneering lives of these individuals and the editors' essays on the importance of biography to history (and specifically Communist history), this collection illustrates the complexities of the European left.McIlroy, John is the author of 'Party People Communist Lives Explorations in Biography' with ISBN 9780853159360 and ISBN 085315936X.
