Böcker av Samuel Farber

Before Stalinism is a historical study of democratic life and institutions and their decline in the early years of the Russian Revolution.

A political portrait focused on Guevara's thought and political record aimed at dispelling many of the myths about the revolutionary.

Analyzing the crucial period of the Cuban Revolution from 1959 to 1961, this book challenges scholarly views of the revolution's sources, shape, and historical trajectory. It states that revolutionary leaders, while acting under serious constraints, were nevertheless autonomous agents pursuing their own independent ideological visions.

Uncritically lauded by the left and impulsively denounced by the right, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally viewed one dimensionally. Samuel Farber, one of its most informed left-wing critics, provides a much needed critical assessment of the Revolution's impact and legacy.
