Abstract
The following article traces the history of the collapse of one of British communism's most successful interventions into the British trade union movement: its domination of the leadership of the Electrical Trades Union (ETU). This domination ended, catastrophically and ignominiously, with a civil trial at the High Court in 1961. The article analyses how a combination of forces, including institutional anti-communism, bureaucratic trade unionism and the party's own strategy, interacted to produce such a debacle.
