A landmark work of revolutionary history, 1905 stands as Leon Trotsky's gripping account of Russia's first failed revolution — the tumultuous year that laid the groundwork for the Bolshevik uprising of 1917. Written with the vivid authority of a participant and the analytical precision of a political theorist, Trotsky chronicles the mass strikes, the Bloody Sunday massacre, the mutiny of the Battleship Potemkin, and the birth of the St. Petersburg Soviet. The work presents his celebrated theory of permanent revolution, arguing that the Russian proletariat could not rely on the bourgeoisie to lead a democratic transformation, but must seize power itself. Urgent, passionate, and historically indispensable, this is both a primary source document and a masterwork of Marxist political thought.
