The Idea of Communism by Tariq Ali

The Idea of Communism by Tariq Ali

November 9, 2009, will mark twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the monumental event that signalled the beginning of the end of Communism in the former Soviet Union. Why was this collapse of Communism considered final, while the many failures of capitalism are considered temporary and episodic? This title addresses this very question.

"Ali broadens our horizons, geographically, historically, intellectually, and politicallyHis mode of history telling is lyrical and engaging, humane, and passionate." - Nation"
