Problems of the Chinese Revolution

Stalin and the Chinese Revolution

2022 || Paperback || Leon Trotsky || Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij

In the Chinese Revolution of 1925–27 the Communist International played a very great role, depicted in this book quite comprehensively. We would, however, seek in vain in the library of the Communist International for a single book which attempts in any way to give a rounded picture of the Chinese Revolution. Instead, we find scores of “conjunctural” works’ which docilely reflect each zigzag in the politics of the Communist International, or, more correctly, of Soviet diplomacy in Chi...

The Downfall of Hitlers Armoured Elite

Between Budapest and Vienna 1945

2022 || Paperback || Perry Pierik || Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij

In March 1945, the German desperate offensive on the Danube began. While the Sixth SS Armored Army came out of positions to establish bridgeheads across the river, the STAVKA, Russia’s supreme command, was already making plans for the attack on Vienna. For ten days the German army plodded eastward until it was left exhausted. The big breakthrough did not materialize. On March 16, the Vienna operation began. The attacker became the defender, and between Budapest and Vienna the German army fo...

Call to Socialism (Heruitgave)

2022 || Paperback || Gustav Landauer || Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij

The revolution has come, though I did not expect it this way. War has come, just as I expected; and in that war I soon saw defeat and revolution relentlessly approaching.

With a truly profound bitterness I state: it is now clear that I was essentially correct in this Call for Socialism and in articles in my journal The Socialist. A political revolution in Germany had not yet occurred; now it has been completed, and only the revolutionaries’ inability to construct the new economy, in particu...

THE GERMAN WAR (Heruitgave)

SOME SIDELIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS

2022 || Paperback || Arthur Conan Doyle || Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij

These essays, upon different phases of the wonderful world- drama which has made our lifetime memorable, would be unworthy of republication were it not that at such a time every smallest thing which may help to clear up a doubt, to elucidate the justice of our cause, or to accentuate the desperate need of national effort, should be thrown into the scale. The longest essay appeared in The Fortnightly Review and the shorter ones for the most part in The Daily Chronicle. I have left them as writ...
