Uniquely, this book traces the decisive political divisions within the broadly-defined Trotskyist movement by presenting key texts from both sides of the political debate as it happend. The book's overall thesis, argued in a substantial introduction, is that by the late 1940s there were two Trotskyisms. They had separated, fundamentally, through their different responses to events neither "side" expected: the transition of the Stalinist USSR from unstable, beleaguered semi-outlaw state to a continent-bestriding world power, stably self-reproducing at least for some decades to come. The other issues were many, but, so the book argues, mostly linked to that fundamental division. They included different conceptions of what a revolutionary party should be and do, and what Marxism is and how it is developed. The once-dominant "orthodox" variant of Trotskyism has been in disarray since the collapse of European Stalinism in 1989-91. Today's revolutionary socialist politics, struggle to regain ground after the long triumph of neoliberalism, needs to nourish itself by studying these long-shelved debates at the hinge of 20th century politics.

Between 1917 and 1923 working class movements could have taken power into their own hands and built socialist societies across the globe. The rise and development of Stalinism obliterated this generation of worker-militants. Although this was resisted by the tiny band of Trotskyists who remained true to the potential of the Russian workers revolution of 1917, after 1940 these forces too succumbed to Stalinist and semi-Stalinist politics. What was codified as orthodox Trotskyism after the Second World War, even by those like the British SWP that appeared to be different, in fact largely collapsed into Stalinoid totalitarian conceptions of socialism, revolution, the party and much else. This book documents how that happened, and how we can build alternatives. --http://www.workersliberty.org/node/25524
