Eighteen months later, leaders of fledgling East Asian communist parties and other revolutionaries gathered in Moscow to plan the way forward. The Congress of the Toilers of the Far East profoundly influenced the strategy of Communist Parties throughout the colonial world. But alliances with other parties were fragile and risky. East Asian Communist Parties suffered serious defeats in the years following the Congress until WWII revived their fortunes. This edited and annotated edition of the Congress minutes will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike. 410 0$aHistorical Materialism Book Series$v173. 606 $aWorking class 606 $aCommunism 607 $aEast Asia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorking class. 615 0$aCommunism. 676 $a324.1/75 700 $aSexton$b John$01067760 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511499703321 996 $aAlliance of Adversaries: The Congress of the Toilers of the Far East$92551882 997 $aUNINA
