From the publicity surrounding the publication of Eric Hobsbawm's
memoirs to the posthumous expose of Christopher Hill, the links
between communism and the universities in the 1930s that are still
present today are explored in this book. In addition to an
interview with Hobsbawm by David Howell, features include a summary
of the reviews of his autobiography by John Callaghan and the
publication for the first time of a different type of
autobiographical document--the party biography that Hobsbawm
compiled for the British communist party. Other Marxist historians
of the same generation are featured including Dorothy Thompson,
Victor Kiernan, and Christopher Hill. As well as the usual reviews
section, focusing especially on political commitments made in the
age of extremes, a discussion by David Renton of Paul Lafargue's
classic text, "The Right To Be Lazy, is included.
