War on War: Lenin, the Zimmerwald Left, and the Origins of Communist Internationalism

The First World War represented a tragic crossroads for the international Left. The pressing decision of the hour--whether to collaborate with or to resist imperialist war--was answered overwhelmingly with the former choice by almost every major party of the Second International. Here is the story of those who chose the second road; a road that, the author argues, renewed socialism after the cataclysm of war.

R. Craig Nation has been a professor of strategy and director of Eurasian studies at the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, since 1996. He is a specialist in war and peace studies.
