<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The 1922 Congress of Toilers of the Far East was among the most influential and impactful gatherings of the Communist International. This volume brings it to life through edited and annotated minutes. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In 1920 V.I. Lenin, the famed leader of the Russian Revolution, called on the Communist International to open a second front against the imperialist powers by fighting alongside nationalist and peasant movements in the colonies. Eighteen months later, leaders of fledgling East Asian communist parties and other revolutionaries gathered in Moscow to plan the way forward. The Congress of the Toilers of the Far East profoundly influenced the strategy of Communist Parties throughout the colonial world. But inter-party alliances were fragile and risky. East Asian Communist Parties suffered serious defeats in the years following the Congress until WWII revived their fortunes. This edited and annotated edition of the Congress minutes will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>John Sexton</strong> is an independent researcher and translator.</p>
