"The collapse of the USSR resulted in, among other things, a resurfacing of critical studies of Marxism going beyond the Cold War polarities. One part of that was a recovery of the wide spectrum within revolutionary Marxism that had been flattened into the correct line versus the class traitors and and deviationists under Stalinism and its kin elsewhere. Sobhanlal Datta Gupta has been one of the few Indian scholars seriously engaged in this project. The book under review is part of a series of studies he has been publishing. In it, he attempts to summarize a considerable body of work on Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (...). He also tries to examine several themes in Bukharin's work, trying to place the last period of his writings within the wider context of his evolution as a Marxist thinker after the Russian revolution, and focusing mainly on the issues of socialist construction, and culture and philosophy."
