Written over a forty-year period, the essays in this book are devoted to bringing rich historical lessons to a new generation in order to resolve the "historical crisis of mankind." David North discusses Trotsky's Theory of Permanent Revolution, the dialectical materialist method, Stalin's Great Terror, the struggles of the Left Opposition, and their relevance for today"--
