description: When Eros and Civilization was first published in America in 1955 it was quickly recognized as an important and original re-examination of Freud's thought. The American critic Clyde Kuckholn commented that "Except for Ernest Jones's two notable books on Freud and his life, this strikes the reviewer as the most significant general treatment of psychoanalytic theory since Freud himself ceased publication." Herbert Marcuse, whose biting analysis of the faults and failings of the modern industrial states has made him the spokesman of radical opinion in Europe and America, also contributes a provocative Political Preface.
