Tomas Youngs War is the tragic yet life-affirming story of a paralyzed Iraq War veteran who spent his last
ten years battling heroically with his injuries, while
courageously speaking against Americas wars before
his death in 2014. Based on hours of interviews with
Young and those closest to him, this emotional and
powerful book sheds light on many crucial but often
overlooked issues such as veterans health care, public attitudes toward the disabled, medical marijuana,
and the terminally ill.
Tomas Young became one of the most powerful and eloquent voices denouncing the war. He served as the conscience of the nation. And although his life
was cut short, his is the final word on a war that should have never been fought.
Chris Hedges
There is nothing more courageous than a soldier who stands up against an
unjust war. Tomas Young was a true American hero.
Tom Morello
Before another commander in chief swaggers before the news cameras and
declares, Bring it on, I urge him (her) to read this book.

Exoneree Diaries
The Fight for Innocence,
Independence, and Identity
Alison Flowers
Through intimate portraits of four exonerated prisoners, journalist Alison Flowers explores what happens
to innocent people when the state flings open the
jailhouse door and tosses them back, empty-handed,
into the unknown. From the front lines of the wrongful conviction capital of the United StatesCook
County, Illinoisthese stories reveal serious gaps in the criminal justice system. Flowers
depicts the collateral damage of wrongful convictions on families and communities, challenging the deeper problem of mass incarceration in the United States. As she tells each exonerees powerful story, Flowers vividly shows that release from prison, though sometimes
joyous and hopeful, is not a Hollywood endingor an ending at all. Rather, an exonerees
first unshackled steps are the beginning of a new journey full of turmoil and triumph.
Based on a yearlong multimedia series by Chicago Public Medias WBEZa finalist for a
national Online Journalism Awardthis narrative piece of investigative journalism tells
profoundly human stories of reclaiming ones life, overcoming adversity, and searching for
purposeat times with devastating consequences and courageous breakthroughs.
Alison Flowers is an award-winning investigative journalist who focuses on social and criminal justice. A former TV reporter, Flowers has also written for the
Village Voice, VICE News, and others. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Lenins Moscow
Third Edition
Alfred Rosmer, translated by Ian Birchall
Like thousands of others drawn to the promise and potential of the
first workers revolution, Alfred Rosmer found himself in Russia during
the early years of Soviet rule. In this gripping political memoir of those
days, Rosmer draws on his unique perspective to shatter the myths
about the alleged totalitarianism of the Bolshevik Party before the rise
of Stalin.

helped found La Vie Ouvrire (Workers Life).

In this book of essays Neil Davidson examines Marxisms relationship to previously existing
traditions (the Enlightenment), as well as the precise boundaries of the Marxist tradition
itself. With characteristic clarity and insight, he argues that tradition should not be seen as
a set of eternally valid lessons but rather as a set of resources from which revolutionaries
can critically draw.

(Amsterdam), Peter Thomas (London)
The capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century has been met by a resurgence of interest
in critical Marxist theory. Yet the publishing institutions committed to Marxism have
contracted markedly since the high point of the 1970s. The Historical Materialism Book
Series is dedicated to addressing this situation by making available important works of
Marxist theory. The aim of the series is to publish important theoretical contributions
in the form of original monographs, translated texts, and reprints of classicsas the basis
for vigorous intellectual debate and exchange on the left.

To the Masses
Warped
Modern capitalism began the twenty-first century seemingly victorious as the dominant
social and economic organizing principle in the world. Rampant regulation and deregulation accompanied a wholesale attack on the social, economic, and political gains of the
prior century under the guise of increasing competitiveness and the need to respond to
the forces of globalization.
The peer-reviewed Studies in Critical Social Sciences book series offers insights into
the current reality by exploring the content and consequence of power relationships under capitalism, by considering the spaces of opposition and resistance to these changes,
and by articulating capitalism with other systems of power and dominationfor example race, gender, culturethat have been defining our new age.
Studies in Critical Social Sciences includes the subseries Studies in Critical Research
on Religion and Critical Global Studies.
