Nevertheless, he joins an underground campaign of socialists all over Europe to prevent war. Dismayed at the sight of socialist spokesmen backsliding into patriotism, he hopes to the last for a miracle, a general strike-something. But the war begins and he loses his life in a last, wild, hallucinatory attempt to stop it.

It describes the methods whereby a single experienced Communist sailor can disrupt a whole ship by sabotage. It describes how the 1923 Communist uprising in Germany (in which...
...autobiography, but through its pages slinks many a Communist bigwig. There is Bulgarian Comrade Georgi Dimitrov, now secretary of the Communist International, once hero of the Reichstag fire trial. Valtin reveals him as the flabby, dandified, over-perfumed head (for many years) of the Comintern's West European underground section.

There is George Mink, ex-Philadelphia taxi driver, Communist organizer of New York's water front, OGPU gunman now wanted...
