Recenzje

'The authors have crafted a fine book on many regional revolutionaries, thus meriting serious attention from scholars. They rigorously consider these 'national liberation Marxists' via the revolutionaries' structures and alliances, mobilization patterns, and ideologies as they changed over the decades, in some cases morphing into political parties, in one case seizing national power (Nicaragua). Yet the book is also richly appropriate for our student audiences, with clear prose, crisp organization and periodization, and a host of valuable extras such as website and film recommendations.' Timothy Wickham-Crowle, Georgetown University, Washington, DC
