Book Reviews of Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War
Book Review: Neo-con wacky reds under the bed rubbish
Summary: 1 Stars
If you believe that Adolf Hitler and Abraham Lincoln were practically the same and struggle to discern the subtle differences between fascism and communism then read this review no further and buy this book. You will love it. As for the other 99.999999991% of the population - this book really is a total howler written in classic reds under the bed style.
The genesis idea of the book is that the republican forces of the civil war were stuffed with hardcore socialists and that Lincoln shared many ideas with Marxists. There is a kernel of truth in this. There is also a kernel truth in the argument that Hitler and Lincoln had striking similarities - they were both men, they were both heads of state, they both had dark hair etc. But it is not serious reasoned academic argument. It is the logic of the Carfax Lunatic asylum.
It is a shame as there as an interesting story to be found about the history of Marxists and socialists in the United States civil war period. However the authors almost visceral contempt for anyone, anything, any variety of socialism or communism appearing on their pages undercuts the whole enterprise.
I feel the only place for a book like is in what someone rather famously once described as `the dustbin of history'.
