REFERENCE WORK

Edited and largely written by Francis X. Gannon. Volume 3, published 1972. Proposed size is eight volumes. Contains a section of describing organizations of the left, followed by biographical entries. At times this reference borders on the comical -- when listing organizational affiliations or possible affiliations, the organizations and schools are explained with various disparaging terms, none of which are attributed, for instance, "studied at the leftist London School of Economics." It is somewhat dated in that a good number of names which have exhaustive entries are largely forgotten today.
