For the first time in English – Vereeken’s eye-witness account of GPU disruption, sabotage and murder inside the European Trotskyist movement in the 1930s. Secretary of the Belgian Trotskyists in those years and party to the movement’s internal struggles, Vereeken documents the sinister role played by the provocateur Mark ‘Etienne’ Zborowski and traces the bloody chain of events which led to the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico in 1940.
His book is a powerful indictment of the crimes of Stalinism, and of the conspiracy of silence which has covered up this history in the intervening years.
