Biographie de Pierre Brouè : texte disponible en anglais

A l'occasion de la parution du dernier numéro de la revue en langue anglaise Revolutionary History consacrée à Pierre Brouè, nous signalons à nos lecteurs anglophones comme aux autres que ce numéro comporte une traduction du texte de Vincent Présumey, disponible par ailleurs en français sur le site de la Lettre de Liaisons dans la page documents.

Au passage, nous signalons toujours à l'attention de nos amis anglophones la traduction récente (35 ans après l'original en français !!!) de La Révolution allemande : The German Revolution (1917-1923) chez Revolutionary History Books. C'est un must pour tous les militants ouvriers qui veulent comprendre le 20ième siècle et les échecs de la révolution dont est issue l'émergence du stalinisme comme facteur essentiel de préservation du capitalisme durant 70 ans.

Pierre Broué: Revolutionary Historian


The latest issue of Revolutionary History is devoted to the memory of Professor Pierre Broué, the Trotskyist historian. Pierre Broué was a prolific writer, and was the author of many substantial books, including biographies of Leon Trotsky and Christian Rakovsky, and histories of the Soviet Communist Party, the Communist International, and Germany during 1918-23. He was also the editor of the prestigious Cahiers Léon Trotsky.

Only a small proportion of Broué’s material has been available in an English translation. This issue of Revolutionary History presents a range of his articles, along with a lengthy biographical essay on Broué, all of which are rendered into English for the first time.
