The study of Marxism in Britain throws light on what many historians have referred to as `the enemy within’. In this book, David Burke looks at the activities of Russian political emigres in Britain, and in particular the role of one family: the Rothsteins. He looks at the contributions of Theodore and Andrew Rothstein to British Marxism and the response of the intelligence services to what they regarded as a serious threat to security. With access to recently released documents, this book analyses the activities of early-twentieth century British Marxists and brings to life the story of a remarkable family.

`The contribution of Russian political emigres to the development of the British communist tradition has finally been given the attention it deserves. Through his long standing interest in Theodore Rothstein, and by making extensive use of Security Service files, David Burke has deepened our understanding of British responses to the Russian Revolution.’ – Geoff Andrews, author of The Shadow Man, `Excellent … really well written and delves very deep into the Rothsteins’ lives … the archival basis of the study makes it genuinely original. The book is well conceived, neatly structured and astute in its analysis.’ – Matthew Worley, Professor of Modern History, University of Reading
