TROTSKY’S CHALLENGE: THE LITERARY DISCUSSION OF 1924 AND THE FIGHT FOR THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION
FREDERICK C CORNEY
Trotsky’s analysis in Lessons of October ran counter to the efforts of Bolshevik leaders to depict October as a foundational event in which the Bolshevik Party, and its clear-sighted leader Lenin, played the major role in bringing about the revolution in Russia. With this volume, Corney has made the major contributions to the polemic that surrounded its publication available in English for the first time.
Frederick C. Corney, Ph.D. (1997), is Associate Professor of History at The College of William & Mary. He has published a monograph,Telling October: Memory and the Making of the Bolshevik Revolution, 1917-1927 (Cornell, 2004), articles, and book and movie reviews on Russia and historical memory.
