Between 1918 and 1968, the forces of revolution and
counter-revolution fought a ceaseless battle over Europe's history.
In Germany and Spain, the Moscow-led communist parties led the
revolutionary movements to disaster. In the decades after the
Second World War, democracy was regularly threatened by right-wing
movements which aimed to dramatically constrict democratic rights.
This 'Bonapartism' continually threatened democracy in France until
the 1968 worker- and student-revolt destroyed the foundations of
Gaullism.In this book a participant and political leader within the
revolutionary movement gives his perspectives on those struggles. A
biographical note by Ernest Mandel, which introduces this volume,
explains how over six decades in the workers movement Pierre Frank
became perhaps the best-known anti-Stalinist revolutionary in
France. He was one of the first to be arrested during the crisis of
1968, when the French section of the Fourth International was
banned.Frank was secretary to Leon Trotsky in the 1930s, a central
leader of the Fourth International from the 1940s and, until his
death in 1984, editor of its French-language theoretical journal,
"Quatri me Internationale." His best-known books are "The Long
March of the Trotskyists" and "Histoire de l'Internationale
Communiste," a chapter of which has been specially translated for
this volume.
