Of the many dissident communist groups that began to emerge on the international scene in the 1930s, the POUM was the most important. The POUM: Republic, Revolution, and Counter-Revolution, by historian Andy Durgan, is an updated and original contribution to the history of the party. It examines its origins linked to workers' and peasants' organizations, its political and programmatic ideas, its most emblematic figures, including Joaquín Maurín and Andreu Nin, its relations with other forces in the workers' movement of the time, and its role in the revolution.
