The lives and thought of radicals and revolutionaries, of the past and present, have much to teach us. Records of the debates they participated in, the movements they built, the actions they organized, the strategy and theory they forged, and the circumstances in which they lived offer today's leftists an important means to reflect on the history of working-class struggle and organizing. We've put together a reading list of biographies, memoirs, and collected letters and essays that provide indispensable introductions to some of history's most inspiring figures.

In 2026, we’re celebrating 25 years of publishing “Books for Changing the World.” In those 25 years, we’ve helped build critical space and infrastructure for radical ideas and movements on the left to grow. That work of institution-building and popular political education has never been more necessary or more urgent. We need your help to continue to do this work.
