Riassunto

"Rosmer's book should be on the shelf of every militant."Christopher Hitchens

Like thousands of others drawn to the promise and potential of the first workers' revolution, Alfred Rosmer found himself in Russian during the early years of Soviet rule. In this gripping political memoir of those days, Rosmer draws on his unique perspective to shatter the myths about the alleged totalitarianism of the Bolshevik party before the rise of Stalin.

Alfred Rosmer (18771964) was an early companion of Lenin and Trotsky in the international Communist movement. He was active in the French labor movement and helped found La VieOuvrière (Workers' Life).

Recensione

"Rosmer's book should be on the shelf of every militant."
Christopher Hitchens

Lenin’s Moscow remains a vital primary source for historians of the International, written by a
participant witness. Rosmer’s account is clear and unpretentious, and can also serve as an introduction for those beginning to study the subject. Rosmer’s narrative sets the debates in
their historical context, making us aware of the danger of repeating quotations from Lenin
or Trotsky torn from the circumstances in which they were originally made.”
Ian Birchall, from the new preface
