David North’s activity in the international workers and Trotskyist movement, as a revolutionary journalist, historian and political leader, spans more than half a century. He is presently the chairman of the Socialist Equality Party in the United States, and has served as the chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org) since its founding in 1998. North has written extensively on Marxist theory, the history of socialism and the Fourth International, the geopolitics of US imperialism, and the strategy and program of the present-day struggle for socialism. His books include The Heritage We Defend; In Defense of Leon Trotsky; The Russian Revolution and the Unfinished Twentieth Century; A Quarter-Century of War: The U.S. Drive for Global Hegemony 1990-2016; and Leon Trotsky and the Struggle for Socialism in the Twenty-First Century.
The annual May Day speeches delivered by David North, between 2014 and 2024, are an extraordinary and timely year-by-year analysis of the relentless escalation of imperialist militarism and the growing danger of a nuclear third world war. In light of the unfolding developments in Ukraine and Gaza, North's analyses acquire an almost prophetic character. Other issues examined by North in his May Day speeches are the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resurgence of fascism, and the growth of the international class struggle.
As in his earlier books, Sounding the Alarm demonstrates David North's remarkable ability to locate contemporary events in their broader historical context. As historian Tom Mackaman writes in the book's preface: "This volume provides a powerful example of Marxism as the science and politics of revolutionary action, which requires careful study by every fighter for socialism."
