During the first two months of 1917 Russia was still a Romanov monarchy. Eight months later the Bolsheviks stood at the helm. They were little known to anybody when the year began, and their leaders were still under indictment for state treason when they came to power. You will not find another such sharp turn in history especially if you remember that it involves a nation of 150 million people. It is clear that the events of 1917, whatever you think of them, deserve study.--Leon Trotsky, from History of the Russian Revolution Regarded by many as among the most powerful works of history ever written, this book offers an unparalleled account of one of the most pivotal and hotly debated events in world history.

JamesIn Trotsky all passions were aroused, but his thought remained calm and his vision clear.... His involvement in the struggle, far from blurring his sight, sharpens it.... The History is his crowning work, both in scale and power and as the fullest expression of his ideas on revolution. As an account of a revolution, given by one of its chief actors, it stands unique in world literature.--Isaac Deutscher

Defending the materialist foundations of scientific socialism, Leon Trotsky responds to the rising pressures of bourgeois public opinion on the middle classes during the buildup toward U.S. entry into World War II. He explains why working people must oppose imperialist assaults on the degenerated Soviet workers state. And why only a party that fights to bring growing numbers of workers into its ranks and leadership can chart a revolutionary course. Leon Trotsky was a central leader of the Russian revolution. Forced into exile by Joseph Stalin in 1929, he was murdered by an agent of Stalin in 1940. In Defense of Marxism is a companion volume to The Struggle for a Proletarian Party by U.S. communist leader James P. Cannon.

The Russian October Revolution, for the first time, placed power in the hands of the working class and changed the course of world history.A succinct first-hand account, this text was written to answer the distortions of bourgeois apologists and reformists, and arm the revolutionary workers of Europe and elsewhere with a real understanding of these historic events. At this time, the Revolution was in a precarious position, threatened by the various imperialist powers. In fact, The History of the Russian Revolution to Brest-Litovsk was drafted by Trotsky between sessions of the Peace negotiations between representatives of the Soviet Government and those of the German High Command in December 1917 and January 1918.The Bolsheviks never held the view that socialism could be established in a backward semi-feudal country like Russia. Rather, the Russian Revolution was simply meant to be the opening shot of the world revolution. This masterly work was part of the Bolshevik leaders' appeal to workers internationally.In the centenary of the Revolution, Trotsky's first-class account is an excellent answer to the lies systematically spread by its enemies and should be given the widest possible readership.
