Publisher's Synopsis
Offering a vivid portrait of social struggles in the era of the Bolshevik-led October Revolution, the reports, resolutions, and debates-among delegates from 37 countries-take up key questions of working-class strategy and program: the fight for national liberation, the revolutionary transformation of trade unions, the worker-farmer alliance, participation in bourgeois parliaments and elections, and the structure and tasks of Communist Parties.

Some sense of the labor involved in this edition is evident from even a cursory examination of the notes appended to the text. Interesting photographs, a glossary containing capsule biographies of participants, sketches of various organizations, and an index further add to the usefulness of these volumes. Anyone interested in 20th-century political history is in the debt of those who made them possible. Should be in all academic libraries." -Choice
