HOW SOCIALISTS RESPONDED TO THE 1970 OCTOBER CRISIS

Our most ambitious web publishing project so far documents the
response of revolutionary socialists to Trudeau's imposition of the
War Measures Act in October 1970. We begin with 46 articles from
Labor Challenge and Young Socialist, including:

** Every article from the special issues of Labor Challenge and Young
Socialist published in October 1970.

** Reports by leaders of the LSO and LJS who were among the first to
be arrested after the suspension of civil liberties.

** How the LSO turned its campaign for mayor of Montreal into a
campaign against the War Measures Act.

** Analysis: Why Trudeau did it. How the Left responded.

** And much more

The easiest way to find new material at the Socialist History Project
is to go to www.socialisthistory.ca and click on "What's New" in the
main menu.
