Praise
“An invaluable and stimulating work … a clear, concise, and riveting account of one of the most dynamic political figures in world history.”—WorkingUSA: The Journal of Labor and Society
“An extraordinary accomplishment. This book deserves a place of honour in the library of anyone who is interested in the history of twentieth-century revolutionary socialism.”—Walter Lotens, Kritisch lezen
“A masterful and critical biography that reads like a thriller.”—Fred Braeckman, De Morgen
“Stutje does a good job of avoiding the temptations of hagiography, and paints a fascinating portrait of Mandel, a Marxist thinker and radical political figure who is undeservedly almost forgotten.”—Piet Piryns and Hubert van Humbeek, Knack
“This impressive scholarly biography deals not only with Ernest Mandel, but equally with the success and tribulations of the Trotskyist movement that he helped lead for decades and with society as a whole. This smoothly written book inadvertently evokes the image of a biblical prophet, whose personal life and happiness, loves, friendships and career were sacrificed time and again to the great struggle against exploitation and injustice—a man who knew that he had to give up everything except hope.”—Ludo Abicht, AKTIEF
