I was prepared to love this book instantaneously, being called Comrade and edited by Verso Books. The premise was promising: in the 20th century we had comrades, now we have allies; don't we need a political belonging that only comradeship brings? Instead, I found the book very tiresome, always repeating itself, sometimes the same sentence with the words placed in another order, it felt like. It's clear that apart from the Soviet examples, which were somewhat enlightening, the author was set on justifying endlessly the actions of the CPUSA which, honestly, I don't care about that much. Where is the political analysis of the bigger picture? It seems like it's just about semantics after all. Maybe I was too demanding. So I give it 3 stars for the premise.
