{"product_id":"9780902869783","title":"Revolution And Counterrevolution In Europe From 1918 To 1968","description":"Between 1918 and 1968, the forces of revolution and counter-revolution fought a ceaseless battle over Europe's history. In Germany and Spain, the Moscow-led communist parties led the revolutionary movements to disaster. In the decades after the Second World War, democracy was regularly threatened by right-wing movements which aimed to dramatically constrict democratic rights. This 'Bonapartism' continually threatened democracy in France until the 1968 worker- and student-revolt destroyed the foundations of Gaullism.\u003cp\u003eIn this book a participant and political leader within the revolutionary movement gives his perspectives on those struggles. A biographical note by Ernest Mandel, which introduces this volume, explains how over six decades in the workers movement Pierre Frank became perhaps the best-known anti-Stalinist revolutionary in France. He was one of the first to be arrested during the crisis of 1968, when the French section of the Fourth International was banned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank was secretary to Leon Trotsky in the 1930s, a central leader of the Fourth International from the 1940s and, until his death in 1984, editor of its French-language theoretical journal, \"Quatrième Internationale\". His best-known books are \"The Long March of the Trotskyists\" and \"Histoire de l'Internationale Communiste\", a chapter of which has been specially translated for this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Resistance Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836321931504,"sku":"9780902869783","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780902869783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
