Enemy within: Rise and Fall of the British Communist Party
Reviews:
He has written the story with understanding, critical distance and a sense of the past. I doubt whether there is at present a more accessible and balanced introduction to the subject. Eric Hobsbawm, Times Higher Education Supplement.
Lighter than a history, better grounded than an essay: short, witty, well written and wholly absorbing...He has a good novelist's gift for portraiture and thinking his way into the mind of very different, and contradictory, characters. Grey Gowrie, Daily Telegraph.
A fine and moving story. Andy Croft, New Statesman.
A fascinating account. Julian Critchley, Daily Express.
An excellent book...Beckett is a compelling storyteller. Sarah Baxter, The Times.
This lively yet meticulous work... John Torode, Independent on Sunday.
Lively and well researched. Daily Express.
A vivid work based on talking to everyone who mattered, a fine work of research by a Guardian journalist. John Vincent, Sunday Telegraph.
Fast-moving and colourful. Matt Seaton, Literary Review.
