- Study of 'Red Clydeside', the term given to Communism, radical labour and trade unionism in Scotland. The author focuses on the role of women in the Communist Party and describes women's experiences of meeting leading international personalities of the era, such as Khrushchev, Gagarin, Tereshkova, Castro and the Ceauescus. He describes the motivation behind the establishment of 'Red Clydeside' and the subsequent growing strains and discord in Communism and the labour movement generally, internationally and in Scotland.
