"Despite my carpings and criticisms I found Trotskyism in the United States quite fascinatingIt should be borne in mind that it was originally published in 1996, and some of its assumptions and conclusions need to be related to the situation twenty years ago. It is useful as a guide to many of the Trotskyist activists, not all of them necessarily well-known. In several ways the lives of the Trotskyists, known or obscure, are more interesting than the now-forgotten policies they endlessly debated and disagreed about. Their experiences, both in and out of the movement”, say a lot about what was happening in American society generally in the period concerned." Jim Burns, Northern Review of Books
