Our Flag Stays Red

By Phil Piraton

Foreword by David Rosenberg

Introduction by John Callow

November's book is a special new edition of a radical classic that brings to life true stories of anti-fascist organising in London's East End in the 30s and 40s. Written by British Communist MP Phil Piraton, it's a lively, moving account of how ordinary residents transformed neighbourhood solidarity into political power. 90 years on from Cable Street, it's a book we can still learn so much from. This special edition also includes a new foreword by the fantastic David Rosenberg.
