Based on a remarkable set of interviews with key participants, John Rose returns to four revolutionary crises in the late twentieth century: Poland 1980-1, Iran 1978-79, the anti-apartheid struggle in 1980s South Africa and the resistance to Brazil’s military regime in the 1980s.
Rose shows how in each case militant workers’ movements were central to these insurgencies. Why then, asks Rose, did the workers’ movement become sidelined by other forces? His answer sets this within the framework of the legacy of Stalinism in the USSR and its subversion of the original vision of communism offered by Marx and Lenin.
