Roger Keeran Libros

"A fresh multi-faceted look at the overthrow of the Soviet State, the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, and the campaign to introduce capitalism from above. Roger Keeran and Thomas Kenny have given us a clear and powerful Marxist analysis of the momentous events which most directly shaped world politics today, the destruction of the USSR, the 'Superpower' of socialism." -Norman Markowitz, author of "The Rise and Fall of the People's Century" "I have not read anything else with such detailed and intimate knowledge of what took place. This manuscript is the most important contribution I have read." -Phillip Bonosky, author of "Afghanistan-Washington's Secret War" "A well-researched work containing a great deal of useful historical information. Everyone will benefit greatly from the mass of historical data and the thought-provoking arguments contained in the book." -Bahman Azad, author of "Heroic Struggle Bitter Defeat: Factors Contributing to the Dismantling of the Socialist State in the USSR"

Focusing on the role of Communists in American labor, the book investigates their legitimacy as trade unionists, their influence on the labor movement, and their adherence to Communist principles. It challenges prevailing assumptions and offers alternative perspectives on these topics, highlighting the complexities of identifying Communists and assessing the reliability of their narratives. The work aims to provoke thoughtful discussion rather than provide definitive answers, addressing methodological issues related to the study of Communists in the auto industry and beyond.
