Lenin's Final Fight: Speeches and Writings, 1922-23

From the publisher:

Five years after the victory of the October 1917 revolution in Russia, V.I. Lenin waged his final political battle.

He was fighting to maintain the communist course with which the Bolshevik Party had led the workers and peasants to power over the landlords and capitalists of the former tsarist empire and defend the invading armies of fourteen nations.

At issue were the burning questions of the day:
--how to forge a union of workers and peasants republics and defend the rights of historically oppressed nationalities
--the basis for the New Economic Policy and its place in the world struggle for socialism
--strengthening the alliance between the working class and the peasantry
--defending the state monopoly of foreign trade

This book compiles the speeches, letters, articles and memos in which Lenin took up the battle inside the Bolshevik Party. Many of these documents were suppressed for more than three decades by the murderous regime, headed by Stalin, that represented the bureaucratic ruling caste. Some appear here for the first time in English.
