This slight but lucid volume has everybody`s favorite Marxist historian (apologies to E P Thompson, who left the party early) holding forth on the state of the world and the future of mankind with characteristic common sense (some of it common enough to be obvious), occasional profundity and the wilful obscuration that comes with Hobsbawm`s politics. Chapters on war and peace, globalization and the decline of empire produce a cosy, familiar feeling, a bit like comfort food - no significant light is shed on the subjects but we can nod in broad agreement. The best is saved for last. In a chapter entitled `Hopes for the Future` Hobsbawm talks honestly, even movingly, about his membership of the Communist Party and the dilemma he faced, in common with other Marxist intellectuals, coming to terms with Stalinism. At least he has the decency not to shirk the issue or pretend, as others in the Left now do, that Soviet Russia had nothing to do with communism. Instead, he points out the responsibilities of a revolutionary historian and presents a balance sheet of the Soviet Union`s achievements alongside her darkest deeds. It is here, at his most personal, that he proves his real worth as an historian. (Kirkus UK)
