Description
Pierre Broue (1926-2005) is famous for his grand histories: The Revolution and The Civil War In Spain (with co-author E. Temime, 1970), his History of the Communist International (Fayard, 2003) and for his monumental study The German Revolution (Haymarket & Merlin Press, 2006) as well as a number of exceedingly scholarly edited collections of other works. Trotsky's Oeuvres which he edited is regarded as both more scholarly and deeper than its English equivalent. This book brings together essays by Broue hitherto unavailable in English, throwing light on the role of the opposition to Stalin within Russia and on the development the Fourth International up to 1945. A biographical sketch of Pierre Broue, by Vincent Presumey paints a substantial, frank and illuminating portrait of an original historian and political analyst.
