John Riddell’s new book Lenin’s Comintern Revisited is a highly readable account of the Communist International (Comintern) under Lenin. The book also serves as an introduction to the 11 volumes of the Comintern Publishing Project series prepared under Riddell’s direction. Of special value for today’s readers, this book places the Comintern’s history in the context of contemporary global anti-imperialist struggles, world movements for social and economic justice, and the perspective of building a socialist society free of the threat of imperialist war and of environmental devastation due to climate change.

Participants: John Riddell, Mike Taber, Sebastian Budgen, Daria Dyakonova, Lars Lih, Paul Le Blanc, Rianne Subijanto, and Greg Albo.
