Communists on Education and Culture, 1848-1948 looks at education and culture as instruments of a developing and varied range of communist ideologies as shown through the thoughts and actions of leading exponents of the movement.

The second focuses on international communists, specifically, the neglected John Maclean, Antonio Gramsci, Georg Lukacs and Mao Zedong. The third and final part deals with Soviet communists such as Lenin, Trotsky and Gorky, as well as Stalinism and beyond.
