Back in print after thirty years, Revolutionaries is vintage Hobsbawm, written amid one of the century’s most intense periods of political and social upheaval. Few observers have been as astute at probing, criticizing, and clarifying radical movements, whether in Beijing or Berkeley. Ranging from historical investigations into communism to contemporary appraisals of revolutionary movements and meditations on Marxism, Hobsbawm’s commentaries are essential guides to the ideas and people that changed the face of the twentieth century.
