G. F. Hudson presents a sharp, scholarly examination of the tensions between Marxist-Leninist theory and the often brutal realities of Soviet governance, foreign policy, and international communist movements. Published as part of the prestigious New Thinker's Library series under General Editor Raymond Williams, the work argues that the gap between communist idealism and political practice became one of the defining contradictions of the twentieth century. Written with the authority of a seasoned political analyst, Hudson illuminates how the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 set in motion a global ideological contest whose consequences reverberated across continents and generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888011522267,"sku":"2026200009498-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d3d6889a-0f76-445a-9ab5-7648d1577568.png?v=1781752609","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009498-secondhand-50-years-of-communism-theory-and-practice-1917-1967","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
