    进入《罗章龙回忆文存》的下册,并不是渐趋平淡的自传收官,恰恰是诡谲幽暗的东方政治的残酷记录。作者卷入党内派系争斗,抱团党内老人,多为遭排挤受打击的工运干部,齐心抵制来自莫斯科的错误领导,抵制王明一伙的阴谋篡党,同时落下'另立中央'的罪名与'争百年是非'的信念,最终留给历史判定'谁在分裂党'?下册在全套回忆中,篇幅精当,长期难与读者见面。正因如此,一旦进入细心的读者或研究者眼里,蕴藏的历史信息之多,必定引发感叹,闻所未闻。若属独家旧闻曝光,足以成为1930年代谜团的解码钥匙。正因此,'不写花园会议,任何一部中共党史都是半部党史','西安事变爆发前夕,在西安城外静候消息的,天下独此一人',皆因批阅罗章龙这部回忆的下册而产生。虽旷世惊闻叠生,仍不过是冰山一角。精选的附录,着眼于让读者全面了解作者其人,了解与作者相关的事件,尝试着尽大力摆明关键史料。 ...
