Lessons Of October

An critical examination of the key actors and larger social movements that led to the rise of the Bolsheviks.

Excerpts in the ISR, Jacobin, and Socialist Worker. Reviews in Historical Materialism, NLR, ISJ, ISR and range of left-wing journals and magazines. Along with Trotsky's classic History of the Russian Revolution, Paul Le Blanc's Revolutionary Studies, and Nadezhda Krupskaya's Reminiscences of Lenin, one of a number of books Haymarket is publishing to coincide with the 100th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution – a milestone which makes a high level of interest from scholars and activists very likely.
