Timothy Snyder opens a new path in the understanding of modern
nationalism and twentieth-century socialism by presenting the often
overlooked life of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz, an important Polish
thinker at the beginning of the twentieth century. During his brief
life in Poland, Paris, and Vienna, Kelles-Krauz influenced or
infuriated most of the leaders of the various socialist movements
of Central Europe and France. His central ideas ultimately were not
accepted by the socialist mainstream at the time of his death.
However, a century later, we see that they anticipated late
twentieth-century understanding on the importance of nationalism as
a social force and the parameters of socialism in political theory
and praxis. Kelles-Krauz was one of the only theoreticians of his
age to advocate Jewish national rights as being equivalent to, for
example, Polish national rights, and he correctly saw the struggle
for national sovereignty as being central to future events in
Europe. This was the first major monograph in English devoted to
Kelles-Krauz, and it includes maps and personal photographs of
Kelles-Krauz, his colleagues, and his family.
