Title: left wing history
Product review: Cantor has a nice prose style and writes here on a fascinating subject, an era whose effects are undoubtedly still being felt.However there is a constant undercurrent of left wing philosophy throughout the entire book, at least to the approximate halfway point which is where I gave up. Cantor actually uses phrases such as "communist workers' paradise," which he apparently hoped the serfs of the middle ages would have attained. He even, strangely, finds time to disparage Margaret Thatcher, which lets you know pretty clearly that the black plague may not be the real point of this book.Quite frankly, I see the ugly little tome as a disguised attempt to push socialism. I am therefore somewhat resentful at having paid money for something other than what I thought I was buying.
