Book Description

This is the seventh in an eight-volume documentary history of the Communist Party of the United States of America. This landmark collection by a noted authority on the American Left is the result of forty years of searching for pamphlets, proclamations, manifestos, party reports, and minutes of meetings in bookstores and archives all over the country. Facsimilies of the originals are presented whenever possible. Brief introductions and critical notes and explanations about the documents are provided with each of these rare and hard-to-find materials. Volume VII begins with a short introduction describing the documentary history and pointing to important sources of information about the Communist Party of the United States. Documents are arranged chronologically and cover the period of World War II and the fight on behalf of Communist principles and the Soviet Union.
