Overview

In these essays, written between 1947 and 1990, Ernest Mandel applies Marxist historical materialism to a broad range of topics. He addresses such issues as the social impact of the Russian Revolution, the strengths and weaknesses of its leaders, and the status of socialism today. Mandel writes from the perspective of one who has devoted decades to the struggle for socialism and still remains an activist in the revolutionary movement. This book, therefore, is also a work of advocacy. The collection should be of value to those who are engaged in working for progressive social change in today's world, as well as to students of history and political science.
