The complete story of the victories and failures of millennial socialism, as told by the writer who witnessed it all firsthand.
But all of the late nights, heated debates, and joyous camaraderie was set against the unmistakable sense that somehow, socialism was winning.
She kissed a man in the rain at a train stop after he sang her The Internationale, and gave herself hangovers that left her begging for death.
Throughout it all, Frost burned the candle at both ends.
Both are related with magnetic prose, remarkable candor, and unflappable humor.
Both are chock-full of momentary triumphs, stupid decisions, new international friendships and rivalries, struggle, joy, setbacks, and heartbreak.
This memoir is more than Frost\'s story; it is also the story of the only movement that has a chance to reshape our world.
