First Five Years Years of the Communist International, Vol. 2

Lenin, as well as by Leon Trotsky. This two-volume collection contains speeches and writings by Trotsky on the struggle for working class power in the imperialist epoch, the worker-peasant alliance, the fight for national liberation, defense of the Soviet republic, and much more.
