I suspect that Stuart is jealous because, unlike me, he didn't get eight 
mentions in the book.

On a more serious note, I will read the book because I am interested in the 
history of the SWP/DSP, a group that I was part of for several decades.  I 
expect to disagree with some of John Percy's and/or Allen Myers' opinions, but 
that's OK.

It will be an opportunity to be reminded of what the DSP said and did at 
various stages in its development.  This may prompt some reconsideration of 
what we got right, and what mistakes we made.

Nobody has yet demonstrated in practice that they have the complete answer on 
how to  make a socialist revolution in an advanced capitalist country.  Looking 
at past attempts to build a socialist party may be useful in clarifying our 
ideas.

Anyone who made it thru volume one deserved a medal. Anyone who makes it
