Few figures in revolutionary history provoke as much controversy, admiration, and condemnation as Leon Trotsky — and Trotsky: The Great Debate Renewed thrusts the reader headlong into the heart of that unresolved argument. Edited by Nicolas Krassó of London University, with an introduction by David Horowitz, this anthology assembles a formidable collection of essays that reopen the fierce intellectual battles over Trotsky's political legacy, his role in the Russian Revolution, and his enduring significance to Marxist thought. The volume chronicles the clash of ideas between some of the twentieth century's most incisive political thinkers, presenting their competing assessments of Trotskyism, Stalinism, and the broader fate of the socialist project. Published by New Critics Press in 1972, the collection arrives at a moment when the New Left was urgently reckoning with its own revolutionary inheritance, lending the debates within a charged contemporary relevance. Krassó's editorial hand is precise and unsparing, framing each contribution to illuminate the fault lines between orthodox Marxism, revisionism, and Trotskyite internationalism. Written with the intellectual rigour of academic polemic yet accessible to the engaged general reader, this is an essential document for anyone who wishes to understand why Trotsky's ghost continued — and continues — to haunt the corridors of radical politics.
