The second is an appreciation of Trotsky and Sedov written by Natalia, which includes an account of the GPU's attempt on Trotsky's life on May 24, 1940.

A collection of Trotsky's writings on events in Spain during the 1930s, covering the period between the fall of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship to the victory of Franco's fascists. His writings deal with the Popular Front, the centrist POUM, anarchism, Stalinism and basic questions of revolutionary strategy and tactics.

This collection is worth a close reading because it provides insight into the way in which Trotsky analysed an evolving situation and how he dealt with the political problems that arose. It charts Trotsky’s efforts to provide a revolutionary perspective for the Spanish working class both before and during the Spanish Civil War. His correspondence with the POUM (Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification) provides his definitive account of centrism. The book reveals a man who, despite his own exile and the murder of those closest to him, remained dedicated to socialist revolution. Learn More

This volume examines the bloodiest period of the Stalinist repression of political opposition in the Soviet Union, debunking the myth that the Great Purges were merely the product of Stalin's paranoia and had no overriding political logic. Through a meticulous examination of original sources, including archival documents only made available for research in the 1990s, Professor Vadim Rogovin argues that the ferocity of the mass repression was directly proportional to the intensity of resistance to Stalin within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), particularly the opposition inspired by and associated with the exiled Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky.
