A truly unique historic document and (486 page) collection of Lenin and Trotsky, writings from the first year of the Revolution with additions by Chicherin and Fraina. Personally edited, introduced, produced, and published by pioneering US Communist Louis C. Fraina in New York City in October, 1918. From Fraina’s Introduction:

“The material comprised in this volume, consists largely of a mass of articles written by Lenin and Trotzky during the actual course of the Revolution; the material accordingly is not alone a record of history, but a maker of history – original sources. I have knit the material together by means of supplementary chapters of my own. The bulk of the material is here published for the first time in this country, either in Russian or in English; a small part has already appeared in The Novy Mir, The New International and The Class Struggle. I wish to express my appreciation to A. Menshoy, Nicholas I. Hourwich and Gregory Weinstein, editors of The Novy Mir, who provided me with a part of this material, and to John Reed, who provided me with the material comprised in Chapter III of Part One, the final chapter of Part Three, and the chapters by Trotzky in Part Six. Louis C. FRAINA.”

“TO the men and women who made the proletarian revolution in Russia; and to the men and women everywhere who are inspired by that great event.”
