In Defense of Leon Trotsky (second edition)

A rebuttal of the academic slander against Trotsky — the third wave of anti-Trotsky historiography, from Robert Service and Bertrand Patenaude — assembled from a decade of polemics by the founding editor of the World Socialist Web Site.

The second edition adds essays addressing post-2010 attacks on Trotsky's historical role and a new introduction situating the polemic within the political reaction that gave rise to it.
