Opis

Arguing that perhaps the best-known socialist intellectual of his era has been misrepresented, this biography centers on the life and times of Harold Laski. Spotlighting his influence in the United States, India, and mainland Europe as well as Great Britain, this account explores how this controversial figure was attacked in the Cold War years for his continued defense of socialist principals. Contending that Laski dedicated his life to the quest for a just society and that his thoughts remain highly relevant today, this updated edition includes a new preface assessing the relevance of Laski s legacy."
