On The Left
Strange Communists I have; Known. Bertram D. Wolfe.; Allen and Unwin. 272 pp.; In its infancy communism attracted some remarkable people. Bertram D. Wolfe has written about ten famous! Communists, all of whom in later years were disillusioned’ about their creed. These vivid personalities are part of an al- I most forgotten past and seem to have little in common with' our picture of a Communist in 1966. A social climber from Harvard; a wild Irish strikeleader, who saw no paradox in his fervent Catholicism; a brilliant and prolific translator: a prudish little old lady; a disciple of Gandhi: the mistress of Lenin; and Trotsky as an historian are among the interesting and authoritative (portraits in this book.
