The book is divided into three parts. The first part tells the story of the early labour movement in Canada. This period saw the rise of the Knights of Labor, the first national labour union in Canada. The Knights of Labor was a militant organization that fought for workers' rights, including the right to organize, the right to strike, and the right to a fair wage.

The second part of the book tells the story of the Communist Party of Canada (CPC). The CPC was founded in 1921 and quickly became a major force in the Canadian labour movement. The CPC was committed to fighting for the rights of working people and to building a socialist society in Canada.

The third part of the book tells the story of the post-war period. This period saw the rise of the welfare state in Canada and the decline of the labour movement. However, the CPC continued to fight for the rights of working people and to promote socialist ideals.

The Adventures of Canadian Communist Working Canadians is a valuable contribution to the history of the Canadian labour movement. This book tells the story of how working people fought for their rights and built a more just and equitable society. It is a story that is both inspiring and instructive.
