Synopsis:
* Classic essays
on revolutionaries from Karl Marx to Che Guevara that could be key to a
deeper understanding of today's current affairs
Recent years have
seen a remarkable growth of interest in revolution and social upheaval. This
collection of essays by distinguished historian and long-standing Marxist
Eric Hobsbawm is a commentary and critical retrospective on the revolutionary
movements and ideas that dominated the twentieth century, and which remain of
crucial contemporary relevance. The essays here explore a broad range of
related topics including the history of communism, the influence of marxism,
insurrection, military coups and guerrilla warfare, and the role of
intellectuals. This updated edition presents new thoughts on anti-communist
polemics and the Spanish Civil War. Written with clarity and masterly
assurance, Eric Hobsbawm's essays are indispensable for a true understanding
both of twentieth-century history and of the pattern of events today.
