Revisions?

The process of historical revision is both continuous and cumulative: no historian ever says the last word. This issue of Socialist History covers a fascinating range of articles on some key political events and personalities in the latter half of this century, and reactions to them at the time: Khruschev's denunciation of Stalin, the Suez Crisis and the Soviet invasion of Hungary. The new findings emerging from the Moscow archives are examined and the prospects for a new Labour government in the UK are considered. In an exclusive interview, the Secretary General of the Trades Union Council in the UK, John Monks, reappraises the history of the British labour movement since the 1960s.Thompson, Willie is the author of 'Revisions?' with ISBN 9780745311890 and ISBN 074531189X.
