The First 5 Years of Comintern Vol. 2

From the publisher:

Drawing on the experiences of the October 1917 revolution in Russia and the consolidation of the world's first workers state, the Communist International was founded in 1919. During its first five years, the new International, guided by V. I. Lenin and other central leaders of the Bolshevik Party, sought to build a world movement of communist parties capable of leading the toilers to overthrow capitalist exploitation and oppression.

These two volumes of speeches and writings by Leon Trotsky document many of the discussions and debates among communists on programs and concrete questions of the fight for working-class power in the epoch of imperialist decline: building an alliance of workers and farmers; the rising struggles for national liberation in the colonial world; class collaborationism versus revolutionary politics; the role of the trade unions; defense of the young Soviet republics; and more.
