Socialism for Beginners

A compact, well written, and delightfully illustrated historical survey of a great human hope that refuses to die. Includes brief and lively introductions to radical women like Flora Tristan, Louise Michel, and Rosa Luxemburg as well as to a number of their male comrades in the continuing struggle for grassroots democracy and freedom. Well worth a quick skim-through and a slower re-read. A short bibliography offers several good suggestions fur further reading. All in all, a feisty little volume that might just inspire you to start organizing together with your fellow earthlings and to change the world!
