“The POUM: Republic, Revolution, and Counterrevolution” provides an updated and original introduction to the history of the party. It examines the POUM’s origins, its relations with the workers’ and peasants’ movements of the time, its political ideas, and its role in the revolution that erupted in July 1936.

This is a story more relevant than ever in a world where the parallels with the 1930s, also threatened by the darkest reaction, compel us to read about a generation of young revolutionaries and their tragic fate as victims of Stalinist and fascist counter-revolution.
