Few figures in the history of the American Left can claim a more significant and yet contradictory legacy as Jay Lovestone.

Lovestone and his comrades briefly controlled, and then were dramatically expelled from, the Communist Party of America. The so-called Lovestoneites struck out on their own, forming a new Communist political organization with a unique analysis of American conditions and the international political situation--different in content, but similar in its development, to the Trotskyist Left Opposition. This book, the first in a six volume series examining the ideology of dissident Marxist movements in America, provides fundamental documents illuminating the political and foreign policy ideas of Lovestone's Communist Party Opposition, which included within its ranks at various times such prominent activists as Benjamin Gitlow, Bertram D. Wolfe, Will Herberg, Charles S. Zimmerman, Louis C. Fraina (Lewis Corey), and Ellen Dawson.
