Peter Fryer and Trotskyism
Author: Sean Matgamna
Peter Fryer, who died on 31 October 2006 a few months short of his 80th birthday, is known now as the author of important books such as his history of black people in Britain, Staying Power. He once played an important part in the revolutionary socialist movement.
He was the correspondent of the Stalinist Daily Worker (now the Morning Star) who 50 years ago went for his paper to Hungary.
He sent back honest reports of the Hungarian uprising against Stalinism in 1956, which was bloodily crushed by Russian tanks, and had his articles suppressed by the Daily Worker, which backed the Russians and told wholesale lies to justify them.
