Ned Donaldson: The Spy Who Went Back to the Bricklaying book launch

Book launch for The Spy Who Went Back to the Bricklaying by Ned Donaldson.

Ned Donaldson (1927 – 1999) grew up in Possilpark in the 1930s and played a crucial role in the city’s labour movement as a militant trade union organiser, Communist Party activist and working-class intellectual. Join us for a discussion on North Glasgow’s radical history, and the launch of The Spy Who Went Back to the Bricklaying, a fascinating account of Ned Donaldson’s trip to Yugoslavia in 1948 and the possibilities (and intrigues) of international solidarity.
