A History of Communism
Paperback
Publication Date: 09/11/2010
In The Red Flag, Oxford professor David Priestland tells the epic story of Communism, a movement that has taken root in dozens of countries across two hundred years, from its birth after the French Revolution to its ideological maturity in nineteenth-century Germany to its rise to dominance (and subsequent fall) in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first modern Communists in the age of Robespierre, Priestland examines the motives of thinkers and leaders including Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che Guevara, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, and many others. He also explores the experience of what it meant to live under Communism for its millions of subjects. At a time when the post-Cold War order is itself in crisis and we seek to navigate a new phase of global political and economic uncertainty, The Red Flag is essential reading. Book jacket.
