Fascism, Stalinism and the United Front, 1930-34

This issue of International Socialism is in many ways a departure from our established practice. It is the first time we have used our space to reprint sizeable chunks of the writings of any of the major Marxist thinkers, let alone devote a whole issue to this task. The reasons we do so now are partly technical: the difficulty of producing and selling a normal issue at the time of year when many of our readers are on holiday. But this also enables us to do something we have long wanted to: to make readily available a considerable portion of Trotsky's writings on Germany between 1930 and 1934.
