Revolutionary Jews from Marx to Trotsky

What role did individual Jews play in the European socialist movement of the 19th and 20th centuries and why did some of them become such important cataysts of social change? Did their active particiaption in revolutionary socialism have something to do with their Jewish origins and heritage? What attitude did they adopt, as socialists and as Jews, to the growth of anti-Semitism and the emergence of Zionism in various European societies? This book, the first in any langauge to deal systematically with this complex and emotionally charged subject, provides some fascinating answers to these controversial questions.
