It shows how President Wilson's brand of liberalism failed, dicusses the failure of the Marxist experiments in Germany and Hungary, the rout of the warlike anarchism of d'Annunzio in Italy and Makhno in the Ukraine and it shows how the eclipse of the more libertarian Russian Communists led to the triumph of the monolithic ideologies, which are one hundred per cent American-ism, Moscow-style Communism and Fascism. Near Fine/Very Good.
