This first English-language biography of Mikhail Tomsky reveals his
central role in all the key developments in early Soviet history,
including the stormy debates over the role of unions in the
self-proclaimed workers' state. Charters Wynn's compelling account
illuminates how the charismatic Tomsky rose from an impoverished
working-class background and years of tsarist prison and Siberian
exile to become both a Politburo member and the head of the trade
unions, where he helped shape Soviet domestic and foreign policy
along generally moderate lines throughout the 1920s. His failed
attempt to block Stalin's catastrophic adoption of forced
collectivization would tragically make Tomsky a prime target in the
Great Purges.
