[[Mehring Books]]. {{ISBN|0929087585}}.</ref> It is also described as such by Wohlforth and Tourish,<ref>Wohlforth, Tim, and Dennis Tourish. 2000. "Gerry Healy: Guru to a Star." pp. 156–172 in ''[[On the Edge: Political Cults Right and Left]]''. Armonk, NY: [[M. E. Sharpe]].</ref> to whom Bob Pitt, a former member of the WRP, concedes that it had a "cult-like character" though arguing that rather than being typical of the [[Far-left politics|far left]], this feature actually made the WRP atypical and "led to its being treated as a pariah within the revolutionary left itself."<ref name="Pitt">Pitt, Bob. 2000.
