Building on his extensive studies of China and the struggle for socialism, Robert Weil examines the revolutionary and popular movements in India. Through his analysis we witness the courage, endurance, and persistence of the Indian and Chinese people, as a basis for our revolutionary optimism. He also foresees the possibility of popular movements and Maoists in both countries joining forces to fight their common enemy and win. Anyone who is seriously concerned about the future of these two great nations should read: Is the Torch Passing?
