One Hundred Years of Socialism Reviews

A remarkable new work of historical analysis, which will soon establish itself as a classic' Eric Hobsbawm, Guardian. Remarkable...A massive and original synthesis which deserves to become a classic, there is nothing comparable to it in the English language' David Marquand. [An] extraordinary achievement...this book is a small masterpieceSir Bernard Crick. Admirable...a compelling guide to the recent history of Social Democratic parties Tony Judt, TLS. The author has scaled a mountain of scholarship and returned with an indispensable work of reference and reflection Norman Birnbaum, Political Quarterly. A majestic work. Nothing like this great survey exists in any language...an unfailing pleasure to read The Economist.
