Bolshevism: A Curse & Danger to the Workers
by H. W. (Henry William) Lee
About the author
Born in London in 1865, he worked in the printing trade before becoming deeply involved in socialist politics. He joined the Social Democratic Federation soon after its founding and went on to serve in major organizational roles, including as assistant secretary and later general secretary.
He was also active as a journalist and editor, with a long connection to the socialist paper Justice. His writing grew out of practical political work, and his books and pamphlets focused on the history, arguments, and internal struggles of British socialism.
Lee remained a prominent figure in socialist circles into the early 20th century. He is especially remembered for political works such as Bolshevism: A Curse & Danger to the Workers and for helping document the movement's past in Social-Democracy in Britain: Fifty Years of the Socialist Movement.
