The first biography to give due weight to the commitment and optimism of this great political thinker

Revolutionary novelist, historian, anarchist, Bolshevik and dissident ? Victor Serge is one of the most compelling figures to have emerged from the history of the Soviet Union. A dedicated activist who joined the Bolsheviks in 1919 and fought in the siege of Petrograd, only to be later consigned to poverty and persecution for rejecting both capitalism and Stalinism, he was a keen observer of his times. Carefully wrought and meticulously researched, Susan Weissman?s Victor Serge is the definitive biography of an extraordinary man.
Reviews

?Victor Serge is one of the unsung heroes of a corrupt century: a figure of great political courage and humanity. It is a pleasure to see this major witness to our time at last get the careful, sympathetic and informed biography he has so long deserved.?

? Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains and King Leopold?s Ghost
