Selected and Edited by F. W. Dupee from The History of the Russian Revolution by Leon Trotsky, Translated from the Russian by Max Eastman. History of the Russian Revolution is a work by Leon Trotsky on the Russian Revolution of 1917. The first portion is dedicated to the political history of February Revolution and the second to that of October Revolution, with the intention of explaining the relations between these two events. The book was initially published in Germany in 1930. The original language is Russian, but it was translated into English by Max Eastman in 1932. The book was considered anti-stalinist in the Soviet Union, and only made it to publication in Russia as late as in 1997. Written during the early years of his enforced exile from Soviet Russia, Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution quickly established itself as one of the great books of the twentieth century. It is the work of an individual who was himself a major participant in the experience he describes and who, in addition, was equally the man of letters and the man of action. Trotsky's historical theses are challenging; his judgments of other leaders intransigent. We are all the more free to accept, reject, or modify his ideas because he presents them with such proud and lucid candor. Beneath them lies the author's radical humanism and his vision of the events of 1917 in Russia as a decisive stage in the liberating of man's consciousness.
