Description
R. N. Carew Hunt has come to be recognized as one of the greatest western authorities on communism. This concise and critical study of Marxism and its interpretation in practice has quickly gained the standing of a classic. The author clearly demonstrates that modern Marxism is a synthesis, in which the basic creed of Karl Marx and Engels has been tailored by Lenin and Stalin to fit the twentieth century. In its analysis of the relationship and the contrasts between Marx's predictions and the policies of the communist governments of today the book provides an excellent outline of the institutions and events which have helped to shape the map of the contemporary world - the Communist League, the First and Second Internationals, the Russian Revolution, and developments both inside and outside Russia between the time of Lenin and Khrushchev.ISBN:THEORYANDPRAC
