Reviews

'Peter Lamb's Socialism is an excellent overview of how the socialist idea has evolved and been applied in the modern era. Clearly written and thematically organized, the book's global perspective provides general readers as well as specialists with food for thought about socialism's past and its prospects for the future.'
William Smaldone, Williamette University

'Well-researched and accessible, the great strength of this book is the judicious balance it strikes between demonstrating the diversity of the socialist tradition while also insisting on its fundamental coherence. Particularly impressive is the nuanced consideration of associational and democratic strands too often confined to the margins.'
Madeleine Davis, Queen Mary, University of London
