The first comprehensive political history of the communist party
Vanguard of the Revolution is a sweeping history of one of the most
significant political institutions of the modern world. The
communist party was a revolutionary idea long before its supporters
came to power. A. James McAdams argues that the rise and fall of
communism can be understood only by taking into account the origins
and evolution of this compelling idea. He shows how the leaders of
parties in countries as diverse as the Soviet Union, China,
Germany, Yugoslavia, Cuba, and North Korea adapted the original
ideas of revolutionaries like Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin to
profoundly different social and cultural settings. Vanguard of the
Revolution is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand
world communism and the captivating idea that gave it life.
