'(Cotterill) has done a truly magnificent job. Everything is accurate, informative, enriching and both scholarly and political... The five essays are all of high quality. I call this a model of the genre.' Professor Richard Greeman, President of the Victor Serge AssociationAt a time when the orthodox Leninist regimes of Eastern Europe are in crisis, Serge and Trotsky both stand as non-orthodox revolutionaries whose messages will now emerge from underserved obscurity. "The Serge-Trotsky Papers" presents hitherto unpublished material from the Trotsky Archive at Harvard and the Serge Archive in Mexico. Correspondence and other writings, dating from 1936 to 1940, are drawn upon to illustrate the nature of the debate between these two great revolutionaries. Their private debate is revealed in the correspondence begun in 1936 upon Serge's emergence from internal exile in the Soviet Union. Their public polemic continues a highly animated dialogue on such matters as Kronstadt, the Fourth International and the Spanish Revolution. The editor provides clear introductions which contextualize and clarify the documents.

Leon Trotsky and Victor Serge represent the great and tragic oppositional figures to Stalin''s dictatorial grip on the Soviet Union in the late 1920s and 1930s. Written during this period, the letters exchanged between these two friends, published here in translation for the first time together with other material from both the Trotsky Archive at Harvard and the Serge Archive in Mexico, present a unique first-hand account of the alternatives and arguments of the Trotskyist opposition in exile. The correspondence chronicles Trotsky’s attempts to found a new Fourth International and casts new light on the trajectory of the Russian revolution from Lenin to Stalin and the long term effects of Stalinism for the revolutionary movements in the West. A remarkable insight into the lives of two prominent thinkers of the twentieth century, these letters also help us to understand an important relationship during a critical period in European politics. Each section is prefaced by a clear introduction that contextualises and clarifyies the documents.
