1926 General Strike – Workers taste power by Peter Taaffe

This May sees the eightieth anniversary of the 1926 General Strike in
Britain – the most important and earth-shattering moment in the history
of the British working class.

To commemorate it and, more importantly, to draw out the lessons from
this movement, Peter Taaffe has written a book outlining the course of
the nine days that shook British capitalism to its foundations.

The book will particularly deal with the revolutionary possibilities
of the General Strike and the question of whether the fledgling
Communist Party of Great Britain had the right strategy, programme and
tactics to take full advantage of the strike and the period.

This book is a must for all socialists. Cost £7.50. Place your
