Formed and trained in the midst of civil war, the Red Army was built as the revolutionary defense force of the world's first workers' state. This book tells how it was done. Recruited from the working class and peasantry, struggling for vital supplies and equipment in the face of fourteen enemy armies, the Red Army survived and won only through determination to defend the October Revolution. Its ranks included the finest Bolshevik cadre. Its leader and organizing genius, second only to Lenin in the leadership of the Revolution, was Leon Trotsky. Erich Wollenberg, a German communist who joined the Soviet army and held high command, saw this army take shape. He records its battles, and tells how Stalin and his bureaucracy later beheaded the Red Army, liquidating its revolutionary leadership and attempting to re-write its history. His book, republished here for the first time in 40 years, is an important contribution to correcting the historical record.

Mathematical Scattering Theory (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications)

<p>The aim of this book is to give a systematic and self-contained presentation of the Mathematical Scattering Theory within the framework of operator theory in Hilbert space. The term Mathematical Scattering Theory denotes that theory which is on the one hand the common mathematical foundation of several physical scattering theories (scattering of quantum objects, of classical waves and particles) and on the other hand a branch of operator theory devoted to the study of the behavior of the continuous part of perturbed operators (some authors also use the term Abstract Scattering Theory). EBBential contributions to the development of this theory are due to K. FRIEDRICHS, J. CooK, T. KATo, J. M. JAuCH, S. T. KURODA, M.S. BmMAN, M.G. KREiN, L. D. FAD DEEV, R. LAVINE, W. 0. AMREIN, B. SIMoN, D. PEARSON, V. ENss, and others. It seems to the authors that the theory has now reached a sufficiently developed state that a self-contained presentation of the topic is justified.</p>
