'It is a pleasure to read Nina Fishman's widely researched and well-written book ... (she) has made a major contribution to the history of both the CP and the British Labour movement.' New Times '...not only an important contribution to the history of the British labour and socialist movement, but a passionate monument to its unknown and half-known soldiers. Not the least of its merits is that [the author] has probably interviewed more of them than anyone else in England.' Eric Hobsbawm, The Guardian '...contains a wealth of information not readily available elsewhere.' Chris Bambery, Socialist Review 'Fishman separates myth from fact in the history of the British Communist Party...This is an exceptionally well researched study; Fishman's interviews with many communists are especially important. Excellent bibliography and a valuable appendix detailing party membership both nationally and by districts.' Choice
