Abstract
As a result of the onset of the Cold War the British Communist Party lost the degree of relative acceptance and tolerance which it had enjoyed since the Second World War; was forced into political isolation and regarded with grave suspicion among the general public. This article examines the nature of perceptions and thinking within the party leadership as they struggled to cope with developments (which they badly misjudged), the constantly deteriorating situation with which they were confronted, and the search for a strategy to bring the party out of its isolation and enable it to influence the direction of British politics.
