Originally published in three parts, Trotsky's masterpiece is collected here in a single volume. It is still the most vital and inspiring record of the Russian Revolution ever published.
Leon Trotsky (Author)
Leon Trotsky (1879 - 1940) was a Ukrainian-born Bolshevik
revolutionary and Marxist theorist who became one of the leaders of
the Russian October Revolution, second only to Lenin. He was
expelled from the Communist Party and deported from the Soviet
Union in the 1920s, and eventually assassinated in Mexico by a
Stalinist agent in 1940.
Max Eastman (Translator)
Max Eastman (1883-1969) was an American writer, editor and
prominent radical. In 1922, he travelled to Russia to study the
Soviet regime and witnessed the power struggles between Leon
Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. On his return to the United States, he
wrote prolifically about socialism and Stalinist Russia. His many
books include Since Lenin Died (1925), Marx, Lenin and the Science
of Revolution (1926), The End of Socialism in Russia (1937) and
Stalin's Russia and the Crisis in Socialism (1939).
