LA Revolucion Traicionada Que Es Y A Donde Se Dirige LA Union Sovietica

En 1917 los trabajadores y campesinos de Rusia fueron la fuerza motriz de una de las revoluciones mas profundas de la historia. Sin embargo, al cabo de 10 anos, una capa social privilegiada cuyo principal vocero era Jose Stalin estaba consolidando una contrarrevolucion politica. Este estudio clasico del estado obrero sovietico y de su degeneracion ilumina el origen de la desintegracion de la burocracia sovietica y los conflictos que se agudizan entre las antiguas republicas de la URSS. "Probablemente el libro mas facil de leer, mas importante y mas interesante publicado hasta la fecha, producto de la prolifica pluma del ex dirigente del Ejercito Rojo.... Trotsky conoce intimamente y domina por completo el tema.... [E]l lienzo que pinta es tan amplio y tan bien equilibrado que resulta sumamente educativo incluso para quienes no limitan sus estudios sobre asuntos sovieticos a los informes de los corresponsales.... en una serie de capitulos breves pero lucidos, el autor traza la extraordinaria evolucion del estado sovietico desde 1917.... La narrativa de Trotsky aporta al lector un eco de la apasionada discusion que se ha dado tras puertas cerradas en los altos organismos sovieticos."-The New York Times Book Review "De todos los oponentes de Stalin, solo Trotsky ha producido una critica sistematica y comprensiva;... [U]no de los libros de mayor influencia de este siglo.... Un clasico de la literatura marxista."-New Statesman "Un estudio importante y devastador...."-New York Times Prefacio por Steve Clark, prefacio y introduccion por Leon Trotsky, indice.

Yet within ten years a political counterrevolution by a privileged social layer whose chief spokesperson was Joseph Stalin was being consolidated. This classic study of the Soviet workers state and the degeneration of the revolution illuminates the roots of the disintegration of the Soviet bureaucracy and sharpening conflicts in and among the former republics of the USSR. "Probably the most readable, significant and interesting book that has thus far come from the prolific pen of the former leader of the Red Army.... Trotsky has an intimate knowledge of and a complete command of his subject.... [T]he canvas he fills is so broad and well-balanced as to be highly instructive even to those who do not limit their investigations of Soviet affairs to the reports of the correspondents.... In a series of brief but lucid chapters the author traces the remarkable evolution through which the Soviet State has passed since 1917.... Trotsky's narrative bring[s] to the reader an echo of the passionate discussion that has taken place behind the closed doors of the high Communist bodies."-The New York Times Book Review "Of all Stalin's opponents Trotsky alone has produced a systematic and comprehensive critique.... [O]ne of the most influential books of this century.... A classic of Marxist literature."-New Statesman "An important and devastating study...."-New York Times'Socialism in one country.'
