“Book Descriptions: A selection of ten articles written by the British socialist and Trotskyist Duncan Hallas, and first published in Socialist Worker (UK) newspaper between September and December 1973. These essays are a sweeping look at the Great Revolutions of history, from the English Revolution, through the American Revolution against British colonial rule, followed by the French Revolution. After discussing these Bourgeoise Revolutions, Hallas then looks at the period when "the workers come onto the stage", from the European revolutions of 1848, to the Paris Commune. The final chapters look at the two revolutions in Russia in 1905 and 1917. These are an excellent introduction to the Marxist theory of revolution and history, in Hallas' brilliantly accessible and informed style.”
