From October To Brest Litovsk

From October to Brest-Litovsk is a book written by Leon Trotsky, a prominent figure in the Russian Revolution and the early Soviet Union. The book chronicles the events that took place during the negotiations between the Soviet government and the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire, which led to the signing of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty in March 1918. The book provides a detailed account of the negotiations, including the various proposals made by both sides and the internal debates within the Soviet government. Trotsky also discusses the broader political and economic context of the negotiations, including the impact of the First World War on Russia and the challenges faced by the Bolshevik government in consolidating its power.From October to Brest-Litovsk is considered a seminal work on the history of the Russian Revolution and the early Soviet Union, as it provides a unique perspective on the negotiations that ultimately shaped the course of Russian and European history. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and often contradictory nature of revolutionary politics, as well as the challenges faced by new governments in the aftermath of major social and political upheavals.We, however, indicated to the bourgeoisie a different line of future events. In a special declaration which we made in the Soviet Council a few days before the drive, we declared that the military advance would inevitably destroy all the internal ties within the army, set up its various parts one against the other and turn the scales heavily in favor of the counter-revolutionary elements, since it would be impossible to maintain discipline in a demoralized army--an army devoid of controlling ideas--without recourse to severe repressive measures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
