About this audiobook
This book by Ted Grant is a unique contribution to the history of British Trotskyism. It begins with the debate on Trotskyism in the British Communist Party in 1924 and ends with the break-up of the Revolutionary Communist Party in 1949 and the beginning of more than thirty years of work within the Labour Party. Ted Grant was the founder and political leader of the “Militant Tendency”, which haunted the Labour leadership, and was eventually expelled along with the Militant editorial board in 1983. A postscript by Rob Sewell, who was the national organiser for the Militant throughout the 1980s, brings this unique history up to date.

No other book chronicles the struggles of British Trotskyism quite like this book. Brilliantly as ever, Ted expertly draws out the theoretical lessons from the history of the movement. this should be essential reading for any perspective revolutionary.

The best Marxist analysis of the history of the British Trotksyist movement to date. More than merely a dry recounting of the history itself it acts as a guide to revolutionary practice in the 21st century. Drawing on the historic lessons of the labour movement this book is essential reading for amy modern Marxist revolutionary looking to navigate the unclear landscape of far-left British politics.
