Originally published as part of Marxism and the USA By Alan Woods, available from Wellred USA.
"The present work began life
as a draft introduction to the American edition of Reason in Revolt.
Starting out from the idea that most Americans have been prejudiced
against Marxism as an alien (“foreign”) ideology, I started to explain
that the history of the United States contains a great revolutionary
tradition, beginning with the War of Independence that set up the U.S.A.
in the first place. However, on delving more deeply into the subject,
it became clear that it was much too extensive to be satisfactorily
contained in the Introduction to a book."
