ORAL HISTORY: An updated and expanded biographical dictionary of the Comintern is in preparation. The editors are Peter Huber and Bernhard H.

The editors are being assisted by an international team of specialists and the dictionary should finally include about 2,000 small biographies of about 12 lines and 100 fuller entries for important CI cadres.
