"The greatest history of an event that I know."
--C. L. R. James "Justly celebrated as a towering, vivid,
historically vital work."
--China Miéeacute;ville, October "The History is his crowning work,
both in scale and power and as the fullest expression of his ideas
on revolution. As an account of a revolution, given by one of its
chief actors, it stands unique in world literature."
--Isaac Deutscher "I would routinely smuggle copies of Trotsky's
History of the Russian Revolution into the USSR--so our colleagues
could know a little about their own political beginnings."
--Carl Sagan
"This passionate, partisan and beautifully written account by a
major participant in the revolution, written during his exile on
the isle of Prinkipo in Turkey, remains one of the best accounts of
1917. No counter-revolutionary, conservative or liberal, has been
able to compete with this telling." --Tariq Ali
