In the eyes of Britain’s heritage industry, London is the traditional home of empire, monarchy and power, an urban wonderland for the privileged, where the vast majority of Londoners feature only to applaud in the background. Yet, for nearly 2000 years, the city has been a breeding ground for radical ideas, home to thinkers, heretics and rebels from John Wycliffe to Karl Marx. It has been the site of sometimes violent clashes that changed the course of history: the Levellers’ doomed struggle for liberty in the aftermath of the Civil War; the silk weavers, match girls and dockers who crusaded for workers’ rights; and the Battle of Cable Street, where East Enders took on Oswald Mosley’s Black Shirts. A People’s History of London journeys to a city of pamphleteers, agitators, exiles and revolutionaries, where millions of people have struggled in obscurity to secure a better future.

The gripping story of the Levellers, the radical movement at the heart of the English Revolution
Nach der Oktoberrevolution 1917 war Russland für wenige Jahre das freieste Land der Welt. Der Sturz des Kapitalismus hatte eine neue Welt möglich gemacht. Dieser Aufbruch währte allerdings nicht lange. Der Autor dieses Buches, der britische Marxist John Rees, beschränkt sich in seiner Arbeit im wesentlichen auf die schwarzen Stunden der Revolution – die Jahre des Bürgerkriegs und des Kriegskommunismus, in denen die Bolschewiki mit allen Mitteln versuchten, den jungen Arbeiterstaat gegen die brutalsten Angriffe zu verteidigen. Dies ist kein normales Geschichtslehrbuch über die Russische Revolution und die folgenden Jahre des Bürgerkrieges. Es ist vielmehr ein politisches Buch, das dabei helfen soll, die revolutionäre Tradition von damals wieder zu entdecken.
