Recenzii
The value of Birnbaum's book lies in its comprehensive survey of socialism together with its intelligent commentary.
A sophisticated and wide-ranging study. It is erudite, melancholy, and bound to arouse interest and controversy.
A wonderful journey through the ins and outs of Western socialism and social reform by a participant-observer with educated eyes.
The book is to be celebrated for its astonishing synoptic powers, its erudition, and, not least, its political quotes and anecdotes.
In this great synopsis of a century of reform movements in the U.S. and Europe, Norman Birnbaum gives an account of what has kept accumulating in the course of the cosmopolitan life of a scholar with that unique combination of talents in comparative social, political, and religious studies.
Superb...presents the key events and players in left movements of the twentieth century in a way that helps us understand their importance.... An elegantly written and thoroughly researched work that goes well beyond the standard left-wing narrative of rapacious capitalists and heroic organizing drives.
