Yet during his lifetime, Blanqui was a towering figure of revolutionary courage and commitment as he organised nearly a half-dozen failed revolutionary conspiracies and spent half of his life in jail. Specters of Communism is Blanqui's story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Those interested in the history of the socialist movement should welcome this new book by Doug Enaa Greene.
