This volume of lectures is remarkably prescient and historically relevant in light of the recent revelations of NSA spying, drone assassinations and the suppression of Constitutionally-protected rights by the Democratic administration of Barack Obama. David North establishes in a detailed analysis of the 2000 and 2004 US presidential elections that behind the breakdown of democracy in the United States lies the deterioration of its global economic position and the unprecedented growth of social inequality already apparent at that time. North analyzes the extreme social and class tensions within American society underlying the bi-partisan war on terror initiated under George W. Bush, which ushered in a period of aggressive militarism abroad and the threat of police state rule in the US that has deepened under the Obama administration.

Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) the leader of the Russian Revolution and Stalin's unyielding opponent remains an immensely controversial figure more than seventy years after his assassination in Mexico City. In this penetrating analysis and comprehensive refutation of three recently-published biographies of Leon Trotsky by well-known British historians -- Professors Robert Service, Ian Thatcher and Geoffrey Swain -- David North raises troubling questions about the state of contemporary historical scholarship. In the June 2011 edition of the prestigious American Historical Review historian Bertrand Patenaude gives North s book high praise: "A careful examination of North s book shows his criticism of Service to be exactly what Trotsky scholar Baruch Knei-Paz, in a blurb on the back cover, says it is: detailed, meticulous, well-argued and devastating." Scott McClemee, a columnist for Inside Higher Education, writes, "I can only suggest that any research library that has added Service's book to its collection should consider acquiring David North s as well." Exposing recent efforts to denigrate Trotsky s historical role by falsifying history, North insists that their aim is to forestall a resurgence of interest in the great revolutionist at a time when millions of people are becoming disenchanted with capitalism. North reviews the decisive and often overlooked impact of Trotsky s theory of Permanent Revolution on the events of October 1917. He challenges today s historians to once again turn serious and honest attention to Trotsky s life and ideas.

"The New York Times' 1619 Project, launched in August 2019, mobilized vast editorial and financial resources to portray racial conflict as the central driving force of American history. By denigrating the democratic content of the American Revolution and of the Civil War, it sought to erode democratic consciousness and to undermine the common struggle of the working class of all ethnic backgrounds against staggering social inequality. The book includes the World Socialist Web Site refutation of the 1619 Project, interviews with eight right leading historians, a lecture series on American history, and a record of the controversy"--

"This book was published by Vadim Rogovin in Moscow in the fall of 1992, slightly less than one year after the Soviet Union had been dissolved. It is the first volume of what would become a seven-volume study of the struggle of the Left Opposition, both inside the Soviet Union and abroad, as it fought the Stalinist degeneration of the workers state established after the October Revolution in 1917. This first volume raises the question: "Was There an Alternative to Stalinism?" It studies the rise of the Left Opposition led by Leon Trotsky in 1923, and ends with the expulsion of Trotsky and his supporters at the Fifteenth Party Congress in 1927. The succeeding volumes examine the history of the resistance to Stalinism up through Trotskys assassination in August 1940 and the outbreak of World War II"--
