Incorporates material from the newly opened Soviet Communist Party Archive in Moscow to explain why the Comintern failed, and to provide an interpretative account of the complete span of the Comintern's existence (1919-43). The authors attribute the Comintern's degeneration from a revolutionary internationalist organization into an obedient instrument of the Soviet state to its imposition of strategies more in tune with Soviet state requirements than with the needs of foreign communists.

This accessible text provides a comprehensive narrative and interpretative account of the entire history of the Communist International, 1919-1943. By incorporating the most recent Western and Soviet research the authors explain the legendary complexities of Comintern history and chart its degeneration from a revolutionary internationalist organisation into an obedient instrument of Soviet foreign policy. Key themes include: continuities and discontinuities between the Leninist and Stalinist phases, Bolshevisation versus national traditions, and the role of leading individuals in the Comintern apparatus. A selection of documents will elucidate these central themes.

Ten Avenues Press, in association with Friends of the High Line, announce the publication of High Line Nudes. In 2006, photographer Kevin McDermott took three of his friends up on the abandoned railroad tracks that would become New York City's High Line park to shoot a series of nudes. As McDermott states in his introduction, "at the time I took these photos, what I sought from its beauty was its sense of isolation, being alone, surrounded by nature in the middle of this metropolis." A decade later, this location is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in NYC and one of the largest real estate developments in the world. High Line Nudes captures a seemingly impossible, but beautiful moment in the history of the West Side Rail Yards, Chelsea and an ever changing New York City. The cloth hardcover book is beautifully printed in color and rich black and white duotone images. The book ships within the US via Media Mail with tracking through the USPS. All sales final. No returns. High Line Nudes - cloth hardcover with dust jacket, smyth-sewn binding, 80 pages, color and duotone black and white. Printed in Italy. 11 x 8.5 inches. Published by Ten Avenues Press.
