From Napoleon to Stalin and Other Essays [Paperback]

These essays now reprinted and prefaced by Jonathan Haslam, E.H. Carr's biographer, give the reader a representative sample of Carr's interests over several decades. They include fascinating picture portraits of figures, both major and minor, from the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-centuries, some of whom he knew at first hand. The reader will also find studied reflection on the major events and their impact including the Paris peace settlement of 1919 and the legacy of Stalin in Russian history. Carr is always lucid, with a taste for controversy. Novices, fans and critics alike will not be disappointed.Introduction New Introduction for the 2nd edition; J.Haslam PART I: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES From Napoleon to Stalin (1950) Rights and Obligations (1949) The League of Nations (1952) Lloyd George, Churchill, and the Russian Revolution I (1969) Lloyd George, Churchill, and the Russian Revolution II (1974) The German General Staff (1954) PART II: ESSAYS IN RUSSIAN HISTORY The Pan-Slav Tradition (1951) Liberalism in Alien Soil (1958) Rural Russia (1963) Bolsheviks and Peasants (1972) The Third International (1952) Marriage of Inconvenience (1978) The Legacy of Stalin (1976) Jewry under Bolshevism (1970) The Non-Jewish Jew (1968) PART III: PROFILES Kropotkin (1951) Milyukov (1956) Colonel House (1973) Karl Radek (1971) The Legend of Bukharin (1974) James Headlam-Morley (1972) Harold Laski (1953) Karl Mannheim (1953) Lewis Namier (1971) Stanley Morison (1972) PART IV: SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM Early Socialist Thinkers (1953) Socialism and Marxism (1954) Socialist Twilight (1960) Roots of Revolution (1957) The Marxist Credo (1959) Luk?cs and Class-Consciousness (1971) Turning to the Right (1966) The Left Today: An Interview (1978) Index
