Like New. Size: 9x5x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. "Socialism was man's ambitious attempt to supplant religion with a doctrine claiming to be rational and scientific. In the century following its birth in the French Revolution, socialism was propounded by writers and organizers until it became the fastest growing idea in Europe. Then Lenin showed that it could be spread better by the sword than by the word, and soon it spanned the globe. No other political idea, indeed no religion, ever traveled so far so fast."
