Abstract

Abstract If in the irreplaceable bibliographies compiled in the 1960s concerning the Italian and the German Communist parties the chronological period under examination (respectively 1921-1926 and 1918-1933) is perfectly plausible, the periodization of the equally useful and exhaustive work on the French Communist Party (1920-1939) is in need of some clarification. While the Italian and the German Communist Parties were outlawed and forced to operate underground with the coming to power of two totalitarian partyregimes, the French Communist Party was dissolved by the Daladier government only in 1939. As is well-known, after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the beginning of the war, the party was oudawed even though it had voted for war credits Sept. 2.
