Was the regime of Joseph Stalin and his heirs a continuation of the Bolshevik-led workers and peasants government established by the October 1917 Revolution? No! says Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky in testimony before a 1937 international commission of inquiry into Stalin's Moscow frame-up trials. Reviewing forty years of working-class struggle in which Trotsky was a participant and leader, he discusses the fight to restore V.I. Lenin's revolutionary internationalist course and why the Stalin regime organized the Moscow Trials. He explains working people's stake in the unfolding Spanish Revolution, the fight against fascism in Germany, efforts to build a world revolutionary party, and much more.“Here is one of the most complete explanations of Marxism…. One can appreciate the movement of gigantic intellectual forces with practical and real-life implications…. Pathfinder Press is to be congratulated for reprinting and releasing The Case of Leon Trotsky. This volume … provides a meaningful snapshot into a capsule of time. However, this is not to be viewed as a lost moment in time. Rather, these ideas and ideals from so long ago still ring fresh today.”—Jon Bradley, editor, Insights: A publication of The John Dewey Society for the Study of Education and Culture.Photos, index.
