<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This collection argues that the First World War--and its consequences--was perhaps <i>the</i> defining moment of 20th century world-politics.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Cataclysm 1914</i> brings together a number of leftist scholars from a variety of fields to explore the many different aspects of the origins, trajectories and consequences of the First World War. The collection not only aims to examine the war itself, but seeks to visualize the conflict and all of its immediate consequences (such as the Bolshevik Revolution and the ascendancy of US hegemony) as a defining moment in 20th century world politics, a moment which ruptured and reconstituted the 'modern' epoch in its many instantiations. <p/>Contributors are: Alexander Anievas, Shelley Baranowski, Neil Davidson, Geoff Eley, Sandra Halperin, Esther Leslie, Lars T. Lih, Domenico Losurdo, Wendy Matsumura, Peter D.
