While Montagu is not as famous as some of his contemporaries, these records do feature some well known figures, including: a membership list from the 1917 club listing J. Ramsay MacDonald and Margaret Bondfield MP as members; a survey completed by a Jerome K. Jerome on the subject of youth unemployment; and negotiations on the subject of Leon Trotsky visiting Britain. Montagu was strongly opposed to fascism and his papers from the European Workers' Anti-Fascist conference of 1933 are included in this volume. Montagu was also supportive of women's suffrage and access to contraception campaigns, the anti-apartheid movement, and in 1928, he corresponded with 'War Resisters International'.
