Biography
Paul LeBlanc is the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and Associate Professor of History at La Roche College in Pittsburgh, PA.
In this most welcome and refreshing contribution, Paul Le Blanc offers insightful and sympathetic assessments of Marx, Lenin, and currents ranging from Radical Christianity to Anarchism…this collection of clearly written as well as inspiring essays raises issues of universal interest.
–Michael Löwy, review in Against the Current
"The enormous value of Paul Le Blanc’s book is that he takes Lenin seriously. His goal is to provoke and persuade young radicals of today into more thoughtful reflection on the experiences of Lenin and the Russian Revolution, and to explore the insights these might offer today…Lenin remains an essential companion in the fight for a better world in the 21st century. "
–Mark Thomas, review in International Socialism
"Thoughtful, reflective, eclectic, and hesitant to provide straightforward solutions to the important questions it raises…The histories he provides are inspiring and moving, drawing on the best of left and labor scholarship, but also on creative literature and the arts more broadly..."
–Helen Scott, review in International Socialist Review
