Review Quotes:
Original Review of Little Moscows:
'What Macintyre achieves in this stimulating and lively work is a specific study of an important aspect of working-class life in the period and one that succeeds entirely in breaking out of the institutional framework into which labor history is usually cast.' Kenneth D. Brown, American Historical Review, Vol 86, Issue 3 (1981).
'Stuart Macintyre's Little Moscows remains a key point of reference, both in a British context and internationally...' Kevin Morgan, Twentieth Century Communism (5)
