Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume is a report on the activities of the Komintern in the Isthmus in a crucial period of time. Cerdas-Cruz systematically discusses the debates, reports and resolutions adopted by that organization on such issues as the revolution and its character, the Party and its nature and the strategy and tactics to be applied in the underdeveloped countries. The book provides an analysis of the Salvadorean uprising of 1932, of Sandino's struggle in Nicaragua and the specific evolution of the legal Costa Rican Communist Party. The information is derived from original and previously unknown material, including many Komintern documents.
