Notes and References The complete references for the book.

The project to put this book on the internet started several years ago on the Subversion site.  The work on the first 4 chapters was a collaborative effort with one comrades behind the excellent John Gray website.  The work has lain in abeyance until recently when we obtained new OCR software.  This enabled us to finish the task.

This is the definitive history of the Workers Dreadnought, Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation, Glasgow Anarchist Group and other Council Communist Groups between the two world wars. It is the most complete text on the involvement of Guy Aldred and Sylvia Pankhurst that we have found.
