The Bolsheviks and War by Sam Marcy

$6.95

For most of the Socialist movement, World War I was an unmitigated disaster. The powerful workers' parties of Western Europe buckled under the war fever. But in Russia, Lenin and the Bolsheviks redoubled their efforts and used the war crisis to organize the revolutionary overthrow of the old order.

What distinguished the Bolsheviks from the other parties in the Socialist International? Was Lenin's focus on building the party a distraction from the anti-war struggle—or a necessary part of it?

Sam Marcy in this book reexamines questions long at issue in the progressive movement both for the historical record and in light of today's dangerous international situation and the Pentagon's post 9/11 wars.
