The Russian Revolution and the Unfinished Twentieth Century
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). Disputing 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.
