A Marxist History of the World: From Neanderthals to Neoliberals (Counterfire)
'Enlightening and apocalyptic in equal measure' -- Guardian Who needs 'objective' history?

If you like your blood boiled, this is the history for you. I can guarantee you'll be outraged - either because you agree with him or because you don't! -- Guy de la Bedoyere, historian and author of Roman Britain: A New History (2006).
