Recently published by Red Flag Books, Duncan Hart’s new book From Revolutionary Hope to Shattered Dreams offers an important perspective on the tidal movement of Australian socialism in the early part of the twentieth century. The book offers a gripping account of one of the most turbulent periods in Australian political history – bringing to life the strikes, conflicts, and ideological battles that followed World War I, it traces the extraordinary impact of the Russian Revolution, the birth of the Communist Party of Australia and the fierce struggles that shaped the future of Australian socialism.
