History of British Trotskyism, The

This book is a unique contribution to the history of British Trotskyism. Ted Grant (1913 - 2006) joined the Trotskyist Left Opposition in South Africa. He emigrated to Britain in late 1934. The book 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”. A postscript by Rob Sewell, who was the national organiser for the Militant throughout the 1980s, brings this unique history up to date. This book is a first-hand account of the life of a Trotskyist pioneer, and will be indispensible to students of political history, and above all, an inspiration to all those seeking to change the world.
