Summary: "For the first time the whole of Lenin's writings on Britain and the British working class movement are made available in one volume. Such a book is long overdue, as the small collection entitled Lenin and Britain, published in 1924 contained only a few of the most important extracts, and has long been out of print. There are now available in this volume many writings of the greatest interest and importance which appear for the first time in English." -- preface.
