About This Book
The essays present a Bolshevik analysis of the Great War and its causes, diagnosing imperialism, rivalries among empires, and failures of mainstream socialist parties. They examine the Balkan question and the obstructive role of multinational empires, argue that capitalist diplomacy perpetuates war, and contend that only proletarian internationalism and revolutionary struggle can secure genuine peace and self-determination. The author critiques opportunism within the socialist movement, assesses wartime foreign policy choices, and outlines a revolutionary-era strategy linking class struggle to international peace.
