Ralph Winston Fox (1900–1936) was a British Communist, journalist, and historian. An early supporter of the Communist movement, Fox was a founding member of the British CP and traveled back and forth to the Soviet Union where he worked for the Comintern and wrote for the British Daily Worker. In 1929 he became a librarian at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. Fox returned to England in 1932 and wrote several important works, including biographies of Lenin and Genghis Khan and a two volume-history, ‘The Class Struggle in Britain’. He joined the International Brigades in Spain, the XIV Brigade, as a Commissar. Only weeks later, in one of the Brigade’s first actions, Ralph Winston Fox was killed while fighting fascists at the Battle of Lopera along with fellow British Communist, the poet John Cornford in late December 1936.
