The Communist Experiment: Revolution, Socialism, and Global Conflict in the Twentieth Century

Part of the "McGraw-Hill Explorations in World History Series", "The Communist Experiment" offers an accessible, comparative, and thematically complete treatment of the "communist experiment" based on the idea that communism represents a unique lens through which to view the history of the 20th century on a global scale. Because communism relates to many other events and forces of the world at that time - world war, fascism, the rise of the United States, decolonization, feminism, the rise of the Third World, revolution, and more - it provides an excellent pathway for understanding those developments and their effects throughout the world.
