The revolution betrayed

Book • 1937
Leon Trotsky's 'The Revolution Betrayed' is a scathing critique of Stalin's regime, written in 1936.

Trotsky analyzes Stalin's consolidation of power and the transformation of the Soviet Union into a totalitarian state.

He argues that Stalin's policies betrayed the ideals of the revolution, leading to the suppression of dissent and the establishment of a bureaucratic class.

The book is a powerful indictment of Stalinism and a warning against the dangers of totalitarian rule.

It remains a significant work in understanding the evolution of the Soviet Union and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals.
