The name ‘Leon Trotsky’ is a controversial one. For some, he was a betrayer or a totalitarian. For others, he was a revolutionary knight battling an oppressive system. However you view him, Trotsky was a one of the most important figures of twentieth-century Communism. A leader of the 1917 Bolshevik insurrection in Russia, he organized and led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War – but was challenged and eventually defeated by his rival Joseph Stalin. Trotsky lived the rest of his life in exile until Stalin finally had him killed. In Leon Trotsky, Paul Le Blanc delves deep to understand Trotsky’s complex character, relationships, actions and ideas. Interweaving dramatic historical events with Trotsky’s multi-faceted personality, this book explores his involvement with and opposition to the Soviet bureaucracy, and his efforts to revitalize the revolutionary wing of the labour movement. Revealed here are his urgent warnings of Hitler’s rise and the spread of fascism, his penetrating understanding of the French Popular Front and the Spanish Civil War, and his analysis of the ominous beginnings of the Second World War. Throughout, Trotsky remained animated by the early ideals of the Communist tradition. Drawing from a rich array of sources, Le Blanc offers a balanced portrait of Trotsky in a historical context that will be invaluable for students, scholars or anyone with an interest in political history and extraordinary lives.

نام «لئون تروتسکی» نامی بحث برانگیز است. برای برخی او یک خیانتکار یا یک تمامیت خواه بود. برای دیگران، او یک شوالیه انقلابی بود که با یک سیستم ظالمانه مبارزه می کرد. تروتسکی به هر حال او را یکی از مهمترین چهره های کمونیسم قرن بیستم بود. او که رهبر شورش بلشویکها در روسیه در سال 1917 بود، ارتش سرخ را سازماندهی کرد و در جنگ داخلی روسیه به پیروزی رساند – اما با چالش مواجه شد و در نهایت از رقیبش شکست خورد. ژوزف استالین. تروتسکی بقیه عمرش را در تبعید گذراند تا اینکه سرانجام استالین او را به قتل رساند. در لئون تروتسکی، پل لو بلان برای درک شخصیت پیچیده تروتسکی، روابط، اعمال و ایده های او عمیقاً کاوش می کند. این کتاب که رویدادهای تاریخی دراماتیک را با شخصیت چندوجهی تروتسکی در هم می آمیزد، دخالت و مخالفت او با بوروکراسی شوروی و تلاش های او برای احیای جناح انقلابی جنبش کارگری را بررسی می کند. در اینجا هشدارهای فوری او درباره ظهور هیتلر و گسترش فاشیسم، درک نافذ او از جبهه مردمی فرانسه و جنگ داخلی اسپانیا، و تحلیل او از آغاز شوم جنگ جهانی دوم آشکار می شود. تروتسکی در سرتاسر آرمان های اولیه سنت کمونیستی متحرک ماند. لو بلان با طراحی از مجموعه ای غنی از منابع، پرتره ای متعادل از تروتسکی را در زمینه ای تاریخی ارائه می دهد که برای دانشجویان، دانش پژوهان یا هر کسی که به تاریخ سیاسی و زندگی های خارق العاده علاقه دارد، ارزشمند خواهد بود. ادامه مطلب…
