Book Synopsis The British Communist Party and the Trade Unions, 1933–1945 by : Nina Fishman
Download or read book The British Communist Party and the Trade Unions, 1933–1945 written by Nina Fishman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a pathbreaking book, essential reading for students of interwar political and social history. Previous histories of the period have underestimated the crucial role which Communists played in trade union organisation from top to bottom. Despite its relatively small size the Communist Party occupied a strategic place in the trade union movement: the leaders of the movement, notably Ernest Bevin, refused to acknowledge this at the time. Thanks to her extensive research and numerous interviews, and to the ’opening of the books’ of the Communist Part, Nina Fishman has been able to uncover a fascinating story, one which official Communist historians have never told, and which other historians could only recount in fragments. The main protagonists are the Communist Party General Seretary, Harry Pollitt, and the Editor of the Daily Worker, Johnny Campbell. The book brings to vivid life the work of activists on the shop floor and in the coalmines during the Depression and the Second World War. The book includes the first comprehensive analysis of Communist activity in key sectors of the British economy, notably in engineering shop stewards’ movements and among London busmen. It concludes with an authoritative review of Communists' part in the British war economy and a vigorous challenge to the conventional wisdom about the effect of Communist Party changes of line on the war on activists’ abilities to incite and lead strikes.

Book Synopsis The United Front by : Daniel Fairchild Calhoun
Download or read book The United Front written by Daniel Fairchild Calhoun and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1976-07-08 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book concerns the Soviet effort during the 1920s to make contact with - and if possible revolutionize - the European labour movement, by first establishing a special relationship with the British Trades Union Congress. The ultimate failure of that effort, after the collapse of the general strike in 1926, inspired Trotsky to try one last time to oust Stalin, a confrontation that led to utter collapse of the Trotskyite opposition in 1927-28. The author suggests the failure of this particular 'united front' effort was a major factor in the sectarianism and isolationism of the Communist movement from 1928 to 1934, and thus had a significant affect on the rise of the Nazi party in Germany.
Book Synopsis In the Cause of Labour – A History of British Trade Unionism by : Rob Sewell
Download or read book In the Cause of Labour – A History of British Trade Unionism written by Rob Sewell and published by Wellred Books. This book was released on with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many narrative histories of the struggles of British workers. However, Rob Sewell's book is different. This book is aimed especially at class-conscious workers who are seeking to escape from the ills of the capitalist system, that has embroiled the world in a quagmire of wars, poverty and suffering. This history of trade unions is particularly relevant at the present time. After a long period of stagnation, the fresh winds of the class struggle are beginning to blow. Rob Sewell's book was written precisely with these new forces in mind. The British labour movement is the oldest in the world. More than two hundred years ago, the pioneers of the movement created illegal revolutionary trade unions in the face of the most terrible violence and repression. In the course of the nineteenth century they built trade unions of the downtrodden unskilled workers - those with "blistered hands and the unshorn chins," as Feargus O'Connor called them. Finally, they established a mass party of Labour based on the trade unions, breaking the monopoly of the Tories and Liberals. In the stormy years following the Russian Revolution they engaged in ferocious class battles, culminating in the General Strike of 1926. Nor did the achievements of the British trade union movement cease with the Depression and the Second World War. The post-war upswing served to strengthen the working class and heal the scars of the inter-war period. By the time of the industrial tidal wave of the early 1970s, they drove a Tory government from power, after turning Edward Heath's anti-trade union laws into a dead letter. Later, the miners, the traditional vanguard of the British working class, waged an epic year-long struggle in 1984-85 against the juggernaut of Thatcherism. They could have succeeded, had the rightwing Labour and trade union leaders not abandoned them and left them isolated. The book contains vital lessons and is essential reading for today's worker militants.

Book Synopsis Cold War, Crisis and Conflict by : James Klugmann
Download or read book Cold War, Crisis and Conflict written by James Klugmann and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Volume Five of a comprehensive history of the British Communist Party in the twentieth century, and covers the period from 1951 to 1968. The cold war was at its most intense during this period, and it was also the time of the dramas of 1956 - Khruschev's critique of Stalin, the Hungarian uprising and the Suez crisis. Then in the 1960s the opening up of new possibilities for radicalism began, leading up to the events of May 1968. The impact of these events on the Party is extensively analysed, drawing on evidence from detailed archival research and many interviews with former activists. Topics covered include: the nature of the Party and its Soviet 'ecology'; its responses to the events of 1956; its involvement in anti-colonial struggles; its positions on international and economic issues and perspectives on class struggle; its relationship with the Labour Party and the trade unions; and the forces for change in the Party in the 1960s. Times change, and John Callaghan's book differs from previous volumes in this series in a number of ways - most obviously, in that it was written after the demise of the Soviet Union and the Party, and thus with much better access to archives and the views of former party members. In addition, it is organised thematically rather than chronologically, and is written from a more critical position than previous titles in the series. It shares with its predecessors, however, the idea that a history of the CPGB has some importance, not least for the light it casts on some of the key issues of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inner-party struggle in the Communist Party of Great Britain after the Second World War has rarely been given proper consideration. When historians have stumbled upon the fractures of the party's latter years, such events have often been boiled down to misleading stereotypes such as 'tankies versus Euros'. The reality was considerably more varied.

Book Synopsis British Labour and the Cold War by : Peter Weiler
Download or read book British Labour and the Cold War written by Peter Weiler and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical examination of the labour government and trades Union Congress in the immediate postwar period, this book argues that the Cold War was not just a traditional conflict between states but also an attempt to contain the growth of radical working-class movements at home and abroad. These radical movements, stimulated by the Second World War and its aftermath, seemed to policymakers within the Labour Party and the TUC to threaten British interests. The author contends that the Labour government never seriously considered following a socialist foreign policy, but instead sought to shape political developments throughout the world in ways most conductive to maintaining Britain's traditional economic and imperial interests. The government was able to follow established policies abroad and increasingly at home at least in part because British trade union leaders supported its attempts to prevent radicals and communists from coming to power in trade union movements inside Britain and throughout the world. In so doing, the trade union movement significantly extended its links with the state, in particular by cooperating with it in the sphere of foreign and colonial labour policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Communist Party and the War: A Record of Hypocrisy and Treachery to the Workers of Europe The Communists are again trying to get into the Labour Party. They have made another application for affiliation. They are conducting a well-organised and energetic campaign in all parts of the country to win the support of the National Trade Unions, Trade Union branches and Divisional and Local Labour Parties, as well as individual members of the Labour Party. Press articles and press correspondence, platform speeches, and a vast amount of literature are pouring out. The Communists are cynics and opportunists. They know they have an awkward and embarrassing record. They know it will prove ex tremely inconvenient and injurious to them if it is brought up. They believe that if their misdeeds, which are many and flagrant, can be kept hushed up, they will be able to ride into the Labour Party on the flood of world-wide admiration for the heroic achievements of the peoples and armies of the They think that a situation now exists in which it can be made to appear that refusal to affiliate them will be an insult and an offence to our Soviet Allies. It is a promising tactic - cynical, opportunist and dishonest, it is true but the Communists think it might do the trick. So they say, let's forget the past. Don't bring up old out-worn arguments or inconvenient hard facts. Let the dead past bury its dead. We want to affiliate to the Labour Party to strengthen unity for victory over Fascism and for social advance now and after the war.

Download or read book Class or Nation written by Neil Redfern and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-02-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) has been seen by many as a microcosm of the Communist-Capitalist struggle in the early twentieth century. Its size belied its influence and so, despite never being a mainstream political movement, it had a powerful presence in British society. Neil Redfern re-examines the movement and its relationship to imperialism, tracing the history of British communism from its revolutionary roots, forged during the turmoil of 1917-1921. He finds that the CPGB never made a clean break with the reformism, nationalism and Euro-centrism, despite World War I, the 1917 revolution and] mass movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Redfern argues that this led most of the left to support the First World War and so, by extension, found itself supporting the Second World War and Britain's reconquest of its colonial possessions. This is essential reading for scholars of British Political and Social History, as well as Imperialism, Communism and left-wing ideology.
