Vanguard of the Revolution: The Global Idea of the Communist Party

★ Foreign Affairs – Best Books of the Year

Focused on the Global Idea of the Communist Party, Vanguard of the Revolution brings A. James McAdams's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
