This work, long since out of print, and suppressed by the political opponents of Leon Trotsky after 1928, makes its debut here for the first time to the public in 72 years. The essays compiled by M.J. Olgin represent a very good cross section of writings by the co-leader, with V.I. Lenin, of the Russian Revolution, prior to Trotsky's joining the Bolshevik Party. Most of these works have never been available in English since this Henry Holt & Company edition was published. M.J. Olgin was fluent in several languages including English, Yiddish and Russian. He authored several books on Russian and Yiddish culture. After Stalin's rise to power after the death of V.I. Lenin, and after Leon Trotsky's expulsion from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1928, immediately prior the great purges of the Old Bolsheviks [Zinoviev, Kamanev, Bukharin, et al.] in 1935, he quickly issued the classic anti-Trotskyist work, Trotskyism: Counter-Revolution in Disguise

"In 1988 the Director of State Archives in Moscow, Yuri Afanasyev, declared that in the vital process of re-examining Soviet history Trotsky is 'the biggest blank spot'. Leon Trotsky is certainly one of the most important, talented and enigmatic figures in twentieth-century world history. In The Trotsky Reappraisal an exciting mix of Soviet scholars and Western academics offer a pioneering reassessment of Trotsky's personality, his role in the Revolution and the ensuing civil war, and his opposition to Stalinism." "Soviet historians have been released from decades of what one Russian has called 'ignorant certainty', and are now seeking to re-examine many key questions, including the process by which Stalin eliminated opposition and consolidated his power. Such investigations lead in many directions but must include the exploration of the intellectual richness of Marxism - long concealed by Stalinist dogma. In this context, too, the reappraisal of Trotsky is overdue."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Trotskyists have long dominated the revolutionary tradition on the western left. This book provides a critical analysis of Trotskyism and argues that it is increasingly irrelevant as a means of achieving socialism. It argues that, as the realization grows that the revolutionary tradition and the authoritarianism which frequently results from it are wrong, the importance of the theory of the transition to socialism increases. The author states that on this point Trotskyism is weak; that Trotskyism's proposals for socialist transition are largely rhetorical and that its democratic impulse is weak. He supports this by showing that Trotsky's philosophy of history, implicit in his writings, which the author characterizes as evolutionary and automatiscist, coupled with a failure to grasp the distinctive theoretical structure of Marx's Capital, has a disabling effect on Trotsky's account of the transition to socialism and on his explanation of Stalinism.

This thesis will explore a particular aspect of the life and ideas of Leon Trotsky, one of the most important historical figures involved in the history of class struggle. As a Marxist revolutionary for forty-two years, Trotsky's political work embodies all of the crucial strategic experiences and lessons of the working class in the twentieth century. Specifically, this thesis will explore the penetration of undercover state police agents into the Trotskyist movement, both before and after Trotsky's assassination in Coyoacan, Mexico. From an historical standpoint, this thesis depicts how Trotsky's assassination was the culmination of a Stalinist war against Marxism. Moreover, it shows that the continued penetration of the Trotskyist movement after Trotsky's assassination by Stalin's secret police (Hereinafter, GPU), as well as by the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (Hereinafter, FBI) represented a war against the most threatening expression of working class politics. These are not simply important historical questions given that all of the fundamental class antagonisms existing then still remain. As social unrest engendered by the staggering degree of social inequality continues to erupt, governments around the world respond with systematic political repression.
