Description

In this still-indispensable collection of essays written in the 1950s and ’60s, socialist writer and organizer Hal Draper grapples with the role of the United States in the world, situating postwar American imperialism in a global picture of capitalist competition and expansion. The essays in this volume include Draper’s discussions of the United States’ involvement in Guatemala, Guam, Samoa, Cuba, Vietnam, and elsewhere, as well as his more general socialist guide to national liberation movements.

HAL DRAPER (1914–1990) was the author of many books, including the five-volume study of Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution, as well as Socialism from Below and Berkeley: The New Student Revolt.
