The Stalin School of Falsification

"Defense of workers' most powerful conquest in history, the October 1917 Russian Revolution, is the topic of this book. Under the leadership of V. I. Lenin, Leon Trotsky was a central organizer of the Bolshevik-led revolution, Soviet government and Red Army, and new Communist International. Here Trotsky exposes the "theoretical forgeries and historical frame-ups" cobbled together in the 1920s by a rising bureaucratic caste to rationalize a political counterrevolution in the Soviet Union. In 1929, as he led the fight to continue Lenin's proletarian internationalist course, Trotsky was deported by Joseph Stalin and spent the next 11 years in exile."--BOOK JACKET.
