Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

The October revolution of 1917 is still the historical linchpin of such debates. To what extent were the Bolsheviks to blame for the degeneration of the revolution? What about the Red Terror, the Cheka and Kronstadt? Did Lenin lead to Stalin? John Rees's 'In Defence of October' reviews what socialists have been saying about the October revolution. He mounts a defence of the tradition that arose from the October revolution and shows it was crushed by the Stalinist counter-revolution.
When John Rees's 'In Defence of October' was originally published in International Socialism, it drew responses from some of the best known figures on the left—Robert Service (author of a biography of Lenin), Sam Farber (author of Before Stalinism) and Robin Blackburn (editor of New Left Review). The full debate, including John Rees's reply, is published here in one volume for the first time.
'...a brilliant polemic that draws on a rich array of primary and scholarly sources...an indispensable source for anyone concerned with the issues'
EPAUL LE BLANC, author of Lenin and the Revolutionary Party
