US Imperialism: A Colossus With Feet of Clay (PRE-ORDER)
New title from Wellred USA coming soon! Please place pre-orders separately from other items.
This work aims to provide the new generation of American communists with a deeper
understanding of the country in which we live and fight for revolution—an imperialist superpower in an epoch of capitalist decay.
Part one establishes a baseline for understanding imperialism by reviewing Lenin’s analysis of the question. Then, using facts, figures, and historical examples, we trace the rise and relative decline of American imperialism and its inter-imperialist rivalry with China and Russia. The history of the United States is, in many ways, the history of imperialism itself.
Part two is a Marxist primer on imperialist war, with emphasis on the principled position
developed by Lenin and Trotsky in the face of World War I.
Part three outlines the history of the US invasion of Soviet Russia under Woodrow Wilson and Lenin’s internationalist appeal to the American working class.
