The Stalin School of Falsification
The Stalin School of Falsification is a book written in 1937[1] by Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Written after Trotsky's expulsion from the Soviet Union, the book contains a detailed account of how historians chosen by Joseph Stalin rewrote revolutionary history.[2] A well-known example from the book concerns the revolutionary contributions by Trotsky himself about which Stalin had written glowingly in 1918, but whose special value he denied by 1924.[1][3]
Publication history
A translation in English by Max Shachtman was published in 1937 by Pioneer Publishers.[4] In 1974, New Park in London published another edition.[5]
