This article argues that the Attlee Labour government's depiction of communist influence within the trade union movement and, particularly, on the docks in the late 1940s, was neither as irrational nor deluded as many historians have alleged. When Attlee's response is understood within the context of Cold War developments, the Communist party emerges not as the innocent victim of government smears, but as a contributor to Labour's fears. The article explores the interplay between domestic and international concerns, and the nexus between local subservience to Moscow and the embrace of hard-line sectarianism, and an aggressive Soviet foreign policy. The article also explores the role of the security services in sharpening Attlee's apprehensions about communism in Britain. |
