A crown jewel of New Left historiography, this overview of U.S.
Marxism was hailed on its first publication for its nuanced
storytelling, balance and incredible sweep. Brimming over with
archival finds and buoyed by the recollections of witnesses and
participants in the radical movements of decades past, Marxism in
the United States includes fascinating accounts of the immigrant
socialism of the nineteenth century, the formation of the CPUSA in
the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of American
communism and of the hugely influential Popular Front in the 1920s
and '30s, the crisis and split of the '50s, and the revival of
Marxism in the '60s and '70s. This revised and updated edition also
takes into account the last quartercentury of life in the U.S.,
bringing the story of American Marxism up to the present. With
today's resurgent interest in radicalism, this new edition provides
an unparalleled guide to 150 years of American left history.
