World Bolshevism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771992732)

Iulii Martov (1873-1923) was the ideological leader of the Mensheviks in the first part of the twentieth century. An anti-war internationalist, Martov theorized that Bolshevism's rise to power leaned heavily not only on the working class, but also on a temporary new class produced by the end of the First World War, a class of peasants-in-uniform.
