In Memory of Leon Trotsky
Lev Davidovich Trotsky was, alongside V.I. Lenin, one of the two greatest Marxists of the twentieth century. His whole life was entirely devoted to the cause of the working class and international socialism. He alone provided a scientific Marxist analysis of the bureaucratic degeneration of the Russian Revolution in works like The Revolution Betrayed, In Defense of Marxism, and Stalin. His writings of the period 1929-40 provide us with a veritable treasure-house of Marxist theory, dealing not only with the immediate problems of the international labor movement (the Chinese revolution, the rise of Hitler in Germany, the Spanish Civil War), but of all manner of artistic, philosophical and cultural questions. This short booklet is an introduction to his life and times.
