Une histoire-monde illustrée, des communismes de la fondation de la IIIe Internationale à la chute du mur de Berlin. « Le grand livre rouge ». Né avec la révolution d'Octobre, mort avec la fin de l'URSS, le communisme a connu la durée de vie classique d'un être humain, soit trois quarts de siècle (1919-1991)?; mais trois quarts de siècle qui ont bouleversé la planète, débordant largement la matrice politique pour « révolutionner » les sphères économiques, sociales et culturelles. Touchant tous les continents et presque tous les pays, son idéologie, son action, les artistes et grands écrivains mobilisés en sa faveur durant trois générations, ses nombreuses guerres (civiles et extérieures) comme ses leaders charismatiques (Lénine, Mao, Staline, Castro…), ses victoires, son déclin puis sa chute n'ont jamais été explorés dans leur globalité au moyen d'un grand récit chronologique à la fois accessible, documenté aux meilleures sources et richement illustré. Tel est le pari relevé de main de maître par Jean-Christophe Buisson, dans la lignée de son magistral 1917, l'année qui a changé le monde. Les entrées sélectives, très écrites et toujours contextualisées, s'appuient sur de nombreuses cartes et illustrations souvent spectaculaires. Elles reflètent les espoirs, les combats, les divisions et les drames de millions d'êtres portés par leur croyance dans une idéologie dont ils furent les militants avant, pour la plupart, d'en devenir les victimes. Une union idéale entre la clarté du texte et la puissance des images, indispensable pour comprendre et connaître le XXe siècle.

U.S. Trotskyism 1928-1965. Part II: Endurance: The Coming American Revolution is the second of a documentary trilogy on a revolutionary socialist split-off from the U.S. Communist Party, reflecting Leon Trotsky’s confrontation with Stalinism in the global Communist movement. Spanning 1941 to 1956, this volume surveys the Second World War (internationally and on the 'homefront'), the momentous post-war strike wave, ongoing efforts to comprehend and struggle against racism, as well as the early years of the Cold War and anti-Communist repression in the United States. Also covered are internal debates and splits among Trotskyists themselves, including a far-reaching split in the international Trotskyist movement (the Fourth International) in the face of a persistent and expanding Stalinism. Scholars and activists will find much of interest in these primary sources.

"Communism has cast a long shadow over Romania. The passage of little over a quarter of a century since the overthrow in December 1989 of Romania's last Communist leader, Nicolae Ceaușescu, offers a symbolic standpoint from which to penetrate that shadow and to throw light upon the entire period of Communist rule in the country. An appropriate point of departure is the observation that Romania's trajectory as a Communist state within the Soviet bloc was unlike that of any other. That trajectory has its origins in the social structures, attitudes and policies in the pre-Communist period. The course of that trajectory is the subject of this inquiry"--

U.S. Trotskyism 1928-1965. Part III: Resurgence: Uneven and Combined Development is the third of a documentary trilogy on a revolutionary socialist split-off from the U.S. Communist Party, reflecting Leon Trotsky’s confrontation with Stalinism in the global Communist movement. Spanning 1954 to 1965, this volume surveys the Cold War era, the civil rights and black liberation movements, the 'third wave' of feminism, and other social and cultural developments of the 1950s and 1960s. Documenting responses to a variety of anti-colonial and revolutionary insurgencies, the volume also surveys the crisis and decline of Stalinism. Attention is given to internal debates and splits, but also to the partial reunification of the international Trotskyist movement (the Fourth International), as well as substantial contributions to the study of history and the development of Marxist theory. Scholars and activists will find much of interest in these primary sources.
