A socialist journalist and author, John Spargo provides an in-depth analysis of the psychology of Bolshevism, the revolutionary movement that would eventually lead to the establishment of the Soviet Union. Drawing on his own experiences visiting Russia and meeting with Bolshevik leaders, Spargo explores the origins and nature of the movement, as well as its appeal to both intellectuals and the working class. This work is a valuable historical document on the early years of the Soviet Union and the intellectual and cultural milieu that gave rise to it.
