Reviews

I strongly recommend it...superb. International Socialism Written from the perspective of a participant observer, this is critical history in the Nietzschean sense. At no point naively optimistic about the chances for success, it nonetheless aims at reviving the volatile Spirit of '68 , and thus at making the potential of the past available for the present. Kay Schiller, TLS A lively and detailed study...Horn brings an admirable breadth of learning and enthusiasm to his subject. Steve Andrew, Morning Star Horn's cosmopolitanism and internationalism are admirable. Michael Siedman, English Historical Review Altogether, the book covers an amazing range not only of countries and dates, but also of social subjects, from students to workers to women...I particularly appreciate the spirit of this book in our time of widespread pessimism. Luisa Passerini, American Historical Review
