Race and Revolution

Max Shachtman (1904-72) was a prominent leftwing socialist in the United States, especially in the 1930s and 1940s. A youthful radical, he was expelled from the Communist Party in 1928. He quickly became one of the most important of Leon Trotsky's global followers, leading the movement's American wing through a succession of groups before he broke politically with Trotsky over whether to support Soviet military conquests at the start of the Second World War Christopher Phelps teaches history at Ohio State UniversityShachtman, Max is the author of 'Race and Revolution' with ISBN 9781859845127 and ISBN 1859845126.
