John Callaghan
Rajani
Palme Dutt (1896-1974) was a leading figure in the Communist Party of Great
Britain from the 1920s to the 1960s. His strong links with the Comintern made
him, throughout this period, a devoted - and stern - supporter of orthodoxy
within the CPGB.
Through an intertwining of personal and political history, this well-documented
book not only tells the fascinating story of Palme Dutt's life, but also provides
a key to understanding the rise and fall of communism in the 20th century.
'...a remarkable political biography.'
John Torode, The Independent
'Excellent, scholarly and thoughtful.'
Ben Pimlott, Independent on Sunday
