“A Short History of Socialism is a concise, perceptive and vigorous account of the origins and development of the major ideologies within the international socialist movement.  As David McLellan says in his Foreword, specially written for this edition, ‘This is intellectual history of a depth and scope that is rare indeed.’  George Lichtheim combines history with an analysis of the major social and economic trends, without ever losing sight of the cultural tradition.  His book is ‘a very important one, fit to provide the material of discussion and research for a long time’.”
