It took me a long time to finish this study of Gramsci, the factory councils, and the creation of a revolutionary party in Italy, but I really enjoyed the book. I still cannot pronounce "Gramsci" to save my life. The book is a great history of the huge mass movement in Turin that created factory councils and nearly ushered in a revolution after World War I. Unlike other revolutionaries in Italy, Gramsci saw the creation of factory councils as the beginnings of a revolutionary, democratic workers' government in Italy. (I was pleasantly surprised to see that Gramsci got a little inspiration from Daniel DeLeon. I got my first taste of politics reading old pamplets from DeLeon back in high school). The author was a radio broadcaster and historian in Wales, and he writes with a stronger style than I expected.
