(David North) The essays and lectures in A Quarter Century of War: The US Drive for Global Hegemony 1990--2016 analyze the progression of military interventions and geopolitical crises as they have deve loped over the past quarter century, not as a sequence of isolated episodes, but as moments in the unfolding of an interconnected historical process. In The Russian Revolution and the Unfinished Twentieth Century, David North disputes postmodernism's view that all history is merely subjective "narrative." North insists that a thorough materialist knowledge of history is vital for humanity's survival in the twenty-first century.

A Quarter Century of War: The U.S. Drive for Global Hegemony 1990-2016(David North)
Beginning with the first Persian Gulf conflict of 1990--91, the United States has been at war continuously for a quarter century. While using propaganda catchphrases, such as "defense of human rights" and "War on Terror," to conceal the real aims of its interventions in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa, as well as its confrontation with Russia and China, the United States has been en gaged in a struggle fo r global hegemony.
The essays and lectures in this volume, informed by a Marxist understanding of the contradictions of American and world imperialism, analyze the progression of military interventions and geopolitical crises as they have developed over the past quarter century, not as a sequence of isolated episodes, but as moments in the unfolding of an interconnected historical process.

The Russian Revolution and the Unfinished Twentieth Century (David North) One hundred years after the outbreak of World War I and the Russian Revolution, none of the problems of the twentieth century--devastating wars, economic crises, social inequality, and the threat of dictatorship--have been solved. In fact, they are posed even more sharply today. David North argues against contemporary historians who maintain that the dissolution of the USSR signaled the "end of history" (Fukuyama), or the "short twentieth century"(Hobsbawm).

The critique provided by David Walsh is absolutely unique in the field of contemporary film criticism. No other source provides the Marxist analysis of culture contained in the WSWS. Walsh's writing is widely respected for its unrelenting hostility both to the pervasive academic fog of postmodernism in the arts, as well as the pseudo-left glorification of identity politics in contemporary film. To develop a conscious, revolutionary critical attitude toward capitalist society, Walsh's writings are essential. The volume contains articles from the WSWS, as well as from the Bulletin and International Workers Bulletin newspapers, the forerunners to the WSWS. Available now for $14.95 |
