Description
"This important volume of documents, brilliantly translated and presented by Frederick C. Corney, shows that Trotsky's analysis ran counter to the efforts of Bolshevik leaders to fashion the narrative of October as a foundational event in which the Bolshevik Party, under the clear-sighted leadership of Lenin, played a major role in bringing about a radical socialist revolution in Russia. Through his extensive annotations and groundbreaking introduction, Corney sheds new light on the polemic, its impact on the figure of Trotsky and the changing political culture of the 1920s and 1920s."Page 4 of cover.
