Sommario/riassunto

Attempt to give an account of world Christianity's encounter with Marxism in the post Cold War period. It explores the intellectual foundations of the antagonism on both sides and the particular contexts of the USSR, the United States, Poland, Nicaragua, Albania, Cuba and China and suggests that the 'Marxist project' is not yet dead.
