Description:... Queensland has had a history of stormy class struggles, and in this pamphlet Jim McIllroy focuses on three such periods: the great shearer's strikes of the 1890's, the Brisbane "Red Flag Riots" of 1919, and the 'Red North" of the 1930's and 1940's when North Queensland became the strongest single base of the Communist Party.
