David North’s activity in the international workers and Trotskyist movement, as a revolutionary journalist, historian and political leader, spans more than half a century. He is presently the chairman of the Socialist Equality Party in the United States, and has served as the chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org) since its founding in 1998. North has written extensively on Marxist theory, the history of socialism and the Fourth International, the geopolitics of US imperialism, and the strategy and program of the present-day struggle for socialism. His books include The Heritage We Defend; In Defense of Leon Trotsky; The Russian Revolution and the Unfinished Twentieth Century; A Quarter-Century of War: The U.S. Drive for Global Hegemony 1990-2016; and Leon Trotsky and the Struggle for Socialism in the Twenty-First Century.
Leon Trotsky remains the towering figure in the history of revolutionary socialism in the twentieth century. A careful study of his writings is essential for the elaboration of the strategy and tactics of socialist revolution in our epoch, that of imperialist clashes coalescing into a new world war and a worldwide assault on the condition of the working class.
Trotsky's greatest achievement was the founding of the Fourth International (FI) in 1938, after the Third International under Stalin facilitated the coming to power of Hitler in Germany, without a fight by the multi-millioned working class. A principled internationalist, opposed to Stalin's "socialism in one country," Trotsky wrote in the founding document of the FI that "the historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership."
Written over a forty-year period, the essays in this book are devoted to bringing the rich historical lessons to a new generation of workers and young people, in order to resolve the "historical crisis of mankind."
