Zusatztext "Imagine a hot! hot day. You're trekking in the heat when suddenly an azure bay comes into view. Hurriedly you peel off and dive in to the fresh water. You feel refreshed! alert to the world around you. After plunging into To the Masses ! I feel something the same." -Chris Bambery! Counterfire Praise for Toward the United Front : "Riddell has here pulled off an immense and masterful editorial effort! comparing past publications of these proceedings in the four main languages of the Comintern - English! French! German and Russian ? The work involved in clarifying the differences between texts! providing more accurate annotation! and correcting the misspelling of names and providing relevant biographical details is immense! and should earn the gratitude of generations of scholars for many years to come." -Alexander Marshall! Marx and Philosophy Review of Books "We should be very grateful to John Riddell and his team of collaborators for making available! for the first time in a full English version! the minutes of the Fourth Congress of the Comintern ? [F]or anyone seeking to understand the history of the 20th century [Toward the United Front] will be an invaluable work of reference! and no library with pretensions to serious historical coverage should be without it ?" -Ian Birchall!
