Marx and the Marxists: The Ambiguous Legacy.

In "Marx and the Marxists: The Ambiguous Legacy," a distinguished scholar examines the chief issues which have divided Marxists from non-Marxists - and Marxists from each other. This volume of exposition, comment and readings is offered as an introduction to the study of Marxism in conflicting theory and practice. Events of the past quarter-century have demonstrated the vital importance of knowing the ideas and movements discussed in this book. On this critical subject more than any other, the price of ignorance may well be loss of freedom.
