Description
description from www.connollybooks.org: Written in 1979 by Michael O'Riordan; former General Secretary of the Communist Party of Ireland (1917-2006), the booklet traces the links between the Russian Revolution and Irish Independence. The booklet focuses upon Soviet successes in uniting all the different nationalities and ethnic groups of the USSR. O'Riordan contrasts this development with the disharmony of Northern Ireland, which continued to suffer from 'years of British imperialist policies of "divide and rule"'.
