Is this still worth a read if I detest Marxists and marxism? Is it a reliable history of the revolution?

>> No.14342901

If you decide to read it, make sure you complement it with something less biased

Its written by a Marxist so its absolutely biased.

Rabinowitch is better

If the sole fact that it's been written by a Marxist means it's biased then books written by bourgeois academics are just as biased. Note that I'm recommending the latter over a Marxist before you reply with something retarded.

It's by Trotsky so obviously its biased but it is a day-by-day of a radical minority hijacking a popular movement and completely destroying everyone and everything opposing them. It's important.

So you’re saying it’s a compelling read?

Haven’t read that one but “A People’s Tragedy” is a great book about the Russian civil war.
