Jim Brown reviewed The Socialist Manifesto by Bhaskar Sunkara
More of a history than a manifesto
This book is a history of socialism, and a pretty accessible one. I was expecting more of a manifesto (because of the title...), but the final section is really the only thing approaching that. And even then, it's not really a manifesto in style or substance.
This is a great historical introduction to socialist projects, but if you're looking for a fiery defense of socialism you should look elsewhere.
