In this expanded second edition, the radical classic Moments of
Decision has been updated more than 20 years since it was first
published and received the Michael Harrington Book Award. Reexamining
observations made after the fall of communism, Stephen Eric Bronner
blends political meditation, philosophical critique, and history
lessons to illuminate the monumental crises that shaped the 20th and
21st centuries. A cosmopolitan work that touches on the implications
of conflicts ranging from World War I to the Arab Spring, Moments of
Decision explores the assumptions of socialist historiography and the
character of modernity. In clear, accessible prose, Bronner has
revived and revised a seminal work that is ideal for students,
scholars, and anyone interested in political history, theory, and
international relations. PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION: “To guess
about the future Bronner has rightly looked into the past, going back
to the first world war and the momentous split in the labor movement.
His book is a learned, lively and inevitably controversial
contribution to the political and historical debates of our age.” -
Daniel Singer, THE NATION “Stephen Bronner is a distinctive voice on
the American left. He combines a deep understanding of working class
political history with a passionate interest in devising a democratic
strategy for our time, and is willing to take risks in saying just
what that strategy should be. Bronner's analysis is both principled
and shrewd, unsparing and hopeful. Even where one disagrees with it,
one learns.” - Joel Rogers, University of Wisconsin Law School,
