Socialism On Trial is a book that presents the official court record of James P. Cannon's testimony in the famous Minneapolis Sedition Trial. Cannon was a prominent socialist and leader of the Communist Party of America during the early 20th century. The trial took place in 1941 and was a significant event in the history of the American labor movement. The book provides a detailed account of Cannon's testimony, which was a defense of socialist ideas and principles against accusations of sedition and anti-Americanism. The trial was a test of the First Amendment's protection of free speech and the right to dissent, and Cannon's testimony was a powerful defense of these rights. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggle for workers' rights and the fight against government repression of political dissent. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of socialism and the labor movement in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
