The Mark Curtis Hoax How the Socialist Workers Party Tried to Dupe the Labor Movement Martin McLaughlin Examines the fraudulent defense campaign waged on an international scale for Mark Curtis, a leading member of the Socialist Workers Party, who was arrested and convicted in 1988 of raping a 15year-old black high school girl. The SWp claimed that Curtis was the victim of a police frame-up, although he was arrested inside the victim's home after her 11-year-old brother called the 911 emergency number. This book makes a detailed examination of the trial transcript, which provides overwhelming evidence that Curtis is guilty. It compares the Curtis defense campaign to those waged on behalf of genuine frame-up victims, from Sacco and Vanzetti to Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and Gary Tyler, and shows that the SWP campaign is a political fraud. It includes an appendix with letters from many of those who have repudiated their support for the campaign after learning the facts of the case. 253gages,^>botograpbs, ISBN 0-929087-46-1 The Gelfand Case A Legal History of the Exposure of US Government Agents in the Leadership of the Socialist Workers Party 2 Volumes These volumes contain the texts of all key briefs, courtroom transcripts and exhibits of the major legal proceedings of an extraordinary case, which brought into the open the government violation of basic democratic rights; the infiltration of the Socialist Workers Party leadership by the US government. The 1983 federal court trial in Los Angeles established that the government takeover of the SWP had its origins in the preparations by the Stalinist secret police, the GPU, for the assassination of Leon Trotsky.
