A new work crtically analysing and comparing Lenin
and Trotsky’s writings in relation to the theory of the Permanent
Revolution and defending that theory against revisionist writers.
" It is therefore refreshing to read a book
which, with a wealth of interesting material based upon an exhaustive
research of the subject, develops new insights into the history of
Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution… particularly interesting is
the detailed account of the way in which Lenin’s position on the nature
of the Russian Revolution evolved from his original theory of the
democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry to his final
position in 1917. The author shows clearly that the intention of the
Bolsheviks was not to achieve a ‘Russian Road To Socialism’ but to
ignite the flame of international revolution." (From the Foreword by Alan Woods, author of Bolshevism, The Road To Revolution’)
