Socialist Organiser
The weekly of the fused Workers Socialist League, from the fusion with the International-Communist League in July 1981 (no. 45) to the expulsion of the League's original leadership by the National Committee on 14 April 1984 (no. 175, 19 April). It was the paper of the wider Socialist Organiser Alliance. Every issue is divided into articles; the scans are at the Encyclopedia of Trotskyism On-Line.
