| These writings by Leon Trotsky on the rise of fascism in Germany were aimed at changing the course of the German Communist Party (KPD). With a correct policy, this party would have been able to stop the rise of National Socialism and prevent Hitler's victory. Trotsky insisted that the victory of fascism in Germany was not inevitable. Hitler was able to come to power only after the mass socialist and communist parties had shown themselves to be politically bankrupt in the course of the entire period following the end of World War I.

This volume contains a series of articles written by Trotsky in the period 1934-1939, between the installation of the right wing Doumergue government in 1934 and the election of the Popular Front government of Leon Blum in 1936 and the ensuing massive general strike. Trotsky subjects the program of the social democrats and Stalinists, who were bent on tying the working class to an alliance with the left bourgeois parties through Stalin's "Popular Front" policy, to a withering critique.

| First published in 1938, in the midst of the civil war, Felix Morrow's account is essential reading for a deeper understanding of the tragic events in Spain. This work contains a devastating indictment of the Popular Front policies of the Stalinist Communist Party, which played a criminal role in strangling the revolutionary struggles of the Spanish working class. Morrow not only analyses the counterrevolutionary role of Stalinism but takes up the policies of the anarchist CNT and the centrist Workers Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), whose policies played a central role in the defeat of the revolution at the hands of Franco's fascists.
