'Comrades!: Lives of Australian Communists is a collection of one hundred short biographies of members of the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) from its founding in 1920 to its dissolution in 1991. Funded by the SEARCH Foundation, the body established to manage the CPA's assets after the party dissolved, this book was the most significant of several Foundation projects marking the centenary of the party's founding. The authors of the biographies are established historians and writers, higher degree students, former CPA members and their children, partners, and associates.' (Production summary)
