Notes

1 See, for example, W.T. Shinn, Jr., ‘The “National Democratic State”: A Communist Programme for Less–Developed Areas’, World Politics, 15, 3 (April 1963), 377–389.

2 The photograph on page 1 is mislabeled. I have a photocopy of the full photograph of the December 1927 CPSA Conference, in which 25 individuals are identified by Rebecca Bunting. In the book two individuals are misidentified: Sidney Bunting, who is actually on the bottom row, far right, and Johnny Gomas, actually on the top row, far right.
