ABOUT THE BOOK:
The story of how China’s modern development rests on the tragically suppressed struggle for a genuine socialism.
The story of contemporary China typically dates back to Mao’s 1949 revolution. But in this classic work of Marxist scholarship, historian Harold Isaacs
uncovers how workers and peasants struggled for a different kind of revolution, one built from the bottom up, in the 1920s. The defeat of their heroic
efforts profoundly shaped the further course of modern Chinese history.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Harold Isaacs was an acclaimed Marxist historian who identified with Leon
Trotsky’s critique of the Soviet Union’s degeneration under Stalinism during the 1920s. The Tragedy of the Chinese Revolution, his major work, is dedicated to the “martyrs”
of the 1925-1927 revolution, who fought for a society based on authentic self-governance.
