Experience anti-fascist history from the front lines in the new edition of this radical classic.
'Our Flag Stays Red' is a powerful and unique account of communist and anti-fascist activity in London’s East End in the 1930s and 1940s. Its author was Communist MP for Stepney, and played a leading role in the Battle of Cable Street, rent strikes, grassroots campaigns, and the occupation of the Savoy Hotel.
Phil Piratin captures the living pulse of London's East End during two turbulent decades, detailing the daily battles fought by working families. From housing defense to confrontation with Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts, these pages chronicle how ordinary residents transformed neighborhood solidarity into political power.
Lively and readable, and packed with useful lessons for anti-fascist organising today, the book is an authentic testament to grassroots solidarity and street-level organizing, and a fascinating first-hand account of a landmark era in British history.
