Riassunto

&;Victor Serge is one of the unsung heroes of a corrupt century.&;&;Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold&;s Ghost

Serge&;s exposé of the methods of surveillance and harassment of political activists by the czarist police reads like a spy thriller. But as Dalia Hashad points out in her introduction, this book will have a resonance with political activists today who face a new wave of repression under the Patriot Act and racial profiling in the name of the &;war on terror.&;

Victor Serge was born to Russian émigré parents in 1890. He wrote numerous novels, poems and political essays and was forced into exile for opposing Stalin&;s rule.

Dalia Hashad is an ACLU organizer in New York for the Campaign Against Racial Profiling.
