The August Uprising, 1924 by Eric Lee
For three years following the Russian Revolution, the small South Caucasian country of Georgia was a democracy, but Stalin later ordered the Red Army to invade and to bring the country back under Russian rule. Communist attacks on political opponents, trade unions, cooperatives, and even the church sparked resistance, and an armed uprising broke out across the nation in 1924. It was swiftly crushed, with massacres of thousands, including hostages. Social Democratic and Labor parties across Europe reacted with shock and indignation. Soviet opponents began to describe communism as red fascism and their own movement as democratic socialism. What followed--including Socialist support for the creation of NATO--resulted from the Georgian uprising and its aftermath. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine a century later, the long-forgotten Georgian experience seems more relevant than ever.
In 1981, Lee moved to Israel, living and working on Kibbutz Ein Dor, where he began programming, and lecturing at the Givat Haviva Centre. He published his first book, Saigon to Jerusalem: Conversations with Israel's Vietnam Veterans, in 1991.
Since then, Lee has published on a number of different topics, including The Labour Movement and the Internet (1996) and The Experiment: Georgia's Forgotten Revolution in 2017. His most recent book is Operation Basalt: The British Raid on Sark and Hitler's Commando (The History Press).Lee is currently based in north London, working as an author, journalist and political activist.
