Marxism and the French Left - Studies on Labour and Politics in France, 1830-1981 (Paperback)

Unlike most books, which treat labor, Socialist and Communist history separately and view French Marxism as a self-contained philosophical phenomenon, " Marxism and the French Left" offers a refreshingly different approach to the subject. Judt emphasizes the complex and interwoven themes that unify the topics of his essays to construct a distinctive and original interpretation of French left-wing politics over the past 150 years.

"A well-informed and persuasive reinterpretation of the old French Left that is now receding beyond recall, except for historians."--"Times Literary Supplement"
