Soviet Iceland, the land of dreams. The prelude to a revolution that never happened, 1921-1946. Compiled and recorded by Þór Whitehead.
The Communist Party of Iceland was a division of the world revolutionary organization Comintern in Moscow with the declared goal of making a revolution in Iceland. Here, historian Þór Whitehead draws for the first time a comprehensive picture of the revolutionary preparations of the Icelandic communists 1921-1946 and the state's response. The revolutionary struggle resulted in a wave of brutal violence, the training of dozens of Icelanders in underground activities and warfare in the Soviet Union, espionage and conspiracy. A uniquely vivid story of a fateful time.
