First published in 1981 The Italian Communist Party looks at the debate within the party and how its strategy was forged. It considers the development of Eurocommunism, the rise and fall of the Ingrao Left and many other topics related to the formulation of the PCI. Based on original research by the author, it explores how key issues were debated and resolved in various representative provincial organisations of the party. It shows how changing ideals affected policy and the party’s organisation and how different attitudes emerged from the diverse social and economic conditions in the different parts of Italy.

This book is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of Italian communism, European communism and political studies.
