British Labour and the Russian Revolution 1917-1924 [antikvár]

ForewordThe acknowledgment of one's scholarly indebtedness is a happy and pleasant duty. I must first of all record my gratitude to Professor David E. Owen, who read this manuscript in its several stages, and offered his counsel and criticism. Students and friends of the late Professor Harold J. Laski will understand the nature of my debt to him. I recall vividly the unhurried hours spent in his quiet study, where conversation was welcome even when it led to disagreement, and assistance was tendered even before it was asked. To my friends Mr. John J. Conway, Mr. Klaus W. Epstein, and Mr. Henry A. Kissinger I owe a great deal; they have contributed to my education as a historian in ways too numerous to relate and too complex to explain. Thanks are due to Mrs, Cedric H. Whitman for expert editorial assistance.It is particularly appropriate that I express my appreciation to Harvard University and the Social Science Research Council who made funds available for a two-year residence in England. Without that generous aid, this work could not have been undertaken.S.R.G.Cambridge, Mass. March 2, 1956
