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
