Resumen del Libro
Al escribir en 193940, Trotsky responde a elementos dentro del movimiento obrero revolucionario que se replegaban de la defensa de la Union Sovietica ante el ataque imperialista que se cernia. Explica por que solo un partido que luche por integrar a numeros crecientes de trabajadores a sus filas y a su direccion puede mantener un firme curso revolucionario.Prefacio a la cuarta edicion por Doug Jenness, introduccion a la segunda edicion por George Novack y Joseph Hansen, glosario, notas, indice.

Writing in 1939-40, Leon Trotsky replies to those in the revolutionary workers movement who were beating a retreat from defense of the Soviet Union in face of looming imperialist assault. He describes how the rising pressures of bourgeois patriotism in the middle classes during Washingtons buildup to enter the spreading imperialist war in Europe were finding an echo even inside the communist movement. And he explains why only a party that fights to bring growing numbers of workers into its ranks and leadership can steer a steady revolutionary course.Introductions by George Novack and Joseph Hansen, appendices by James Burnham: Science and Style: A Reply to Comrade Trotsky, Letter of Resignation from Workers Party.
