The First 10 Years of American Communism: Report of a Participant
James P Cannon, the founder of the Trotskyist movement in the United States, recalls the early years of American Communism.
This book flowed out of a series of letters Cannon wrote to historian Theodore Draper who was compiling a history of the American Communist Party. Cannon writes as a participant in the formative years of the American CP, before its destruction as a revolutionary organization by Stalinism.
The appendix contains an appreciation of the contribution of pioneer American socialists Eugene Debs, William Haywood and Daniel DeLeon. It also contains an assessment of the Industrial Workers of the World, in which Cannon participated before joining the Communist Party.
