'...a lively, scholarly account, full of bold personalities and surprising connections'
Thanks to Neal Ascherson for this generous review of 'The Paris Commune in Britain' in the @lrb.co.uk today
Particularly pleased to read that the book took Neal to the Newman Arms in search of the Communards 🍻

‘Solidarity with Commune veterans on the part of British working-class movements was usually more symbolic than active. Plenty of “Vive la Commune!” and “Down with Capitalism!”, but no barricades.’
