Engaging, page-turning first hand account of the promise of the Russian Revolution.Like thousands of others drawn to the promise and potential of the first workers' revolution, Alfred Rosmer found himself in Russia during the early years of Soviet rule. In this gripping political memoir of those days, Rosmer draws on his unique perspective to shatter the myths about the alleged totalitarianism of the Bolshevik party before the rise of Stalin.
"Rosmer's book should be on the shelf of every militant." —Christopher Hitchens “Lenin’s Moscow remains a vital primary source for historians of the International, written by a participant witness. Rosmer’s account is clear and unpretentious, and can also serve as an introduction for those beginning to study the subject. Rosmer’s narrative sets the debates in their historical context, making us aware of the danger of repeating quotations from Lenin or Trotsky torn from the circumstances in which they were originally made.” —Ian Birchall, from the new preface
