Mikhail Tomsky (1880-1936) was one of the most important and
influential leaders of the early Soviet Union. This first
English-language biography of 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.
