| This is a comprehensive list of the publications (excluding periodicals) of the CPI from its founding in 1933, including the imprints New Books and Connolly Books. (It should also be borne in mind that the communist party in the South was known as the Irish Workers’ League from 1948 to 1962 and Irish Workers’ Party from 1962 to 1970.)
The entries are arranged by date of publication. Some of the more recent titles are still in print; enquiries should be addressed to Connolly Books. We realise that this list may contain errors, and we would be very happy to receive |
