He is the author of a four-volume series on the Teamsters Union: Teamster Rebellion, Teamster Power, Teamster Politcs and Teamster Bureaucracy.
Revolutionary Continuity: Birth of the Communist Movement, 1918-1922 is the second volume of Dobb’s series on the histoy of the development o Marxist leadership in the United States. The first volume of this series is Revolutionary Continuity: The Early Years, 1848-1917.
As the author’s preface explains, “the present volume opens just as the most prominent leaders in the largest parties affiliated to the old International had in their majority fallen in step with the imperialist governments of their own countries during Word War I. It traces the emergence of a communist connection with the efforts by Lenin and the Russian Communist Party to replace the now politically bankrupt Second International with a new international leadership of the working class.”
