The Revolution Betrayed

Trotsky was among the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution, but within a decade he had been forced into exile by Stalin. In this blistering indictment of Stalin's political doctrine, Trotsky foresaw the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union and the betrayal of the communist ideal. Written in 1936 and published the following year, this brilliant and profound evaluation of Stalinism from the Marxist standpoint prophesied the collapse of the Soviet Union. Trotsky employs facts, figures, and statistics to show how Stalinist policies rejected the enormous productive potential of the nationalized planned economy engendered by the October Revolution.
