Soft cover. Condition: Fair. 87 pages. Written during the Great Depression and right around the time of the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International (Comintern), the book reflects the intense anxiety within the British conservative and religious establishment regarding the perceived threat of Soviet espionage, subversive ideologies, and institutional infiltration. A central focus of the book includes the strategy of international communism using "Trojan Horse" tactics—infiltrating existing democratic organizations and trade unions rather than attacking them solely from the outside. Godden explicitly cited the Comintern's Secretary-General, Georgi Dimitrov, who advocated that revolutionary workers should utilize such methods to penetrate the hearts of enemy camps. The publication aligns with a turbulent period for communism in the United Kingdom: • The CPGB and Industrial Action: The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), founded in 1920, was heavily funded and directed by Moscow via the Comintern. It attempted to gain leverage during major industrial disputes, such as the historic 1926 General Strike. • State Crackdowns: Fearing a Bolshevik-style revolution, the British state actively targeted communist operations. Special Branch conducted frequent raids on the CPGB's King Street headquarters, including high-profile arrests of party leadership in 1921 and 1925. • Intellectual Recruitment: Around the same time this book was published, the Soviet Union successfully recruited its most famous British spy ring—the Cambridge Five (including Kim Philby and Guy Burgess)—who were drawn to communism during the economic hardships of the 1930s.
