For our twenty-sixth reading group we will finish In The Crossfire by Ngô Văn. From the blurb:
Although the Vietnam War is still well known, few people are aware of the decades of struggles against the French colonial regime that preceded it, many of which had no connection with the Stalinists (Ho Chi Minh’s Communist Party). The Stalinists were ultimately victorious, but only after they systematically destroyed all the other oppositional currents. This book is the story of those other movements and revolts, caught in the crossfire between the French and the Stalinists, told by one of the few survivors.
This month we will be reading chapter 6 to the end of the book. A free online version of the book can be found on the Anarchist Library here.
Our friends at Freedom Press here host the reading group for free, so please support them by using them for your supply of radical books and zines.
The reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 27th of October, 19:00, at Freedom Bookshop, 84b Whitechapel High St, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.
