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.
