From October to Brest-Litovsk is a book written by the Russian revolutionary and politician, Leon Trotsky. The book is a detailed account of the events that took place in Russia during the period of October 1917 to March 1918, which led to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Russia and the Central Powers, effectively ending Russia's involvement in World War I.The book is divided into three parts, with each part covering a different phase of the revolution. The first part focuses on the October Revolution, which saw the Bolsheviks seize power from the Provisional Government. Trotsky provides an insider's account of the events leading up to the revolution and the actions taken by the Bolsheviks to consolidate their power.The second part of the book covers the period of the Civil War, which began shortly after the Bolsheviks took power. Trotsky describes the challenges faced by the new government, including the opposition from various factions and the intervention of foreign powers.The third and final part of the book is dedicated to the negotiations that led to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Trotsky provides a detailed account of the negotiations, including the various demands made by the Central Powers and the concessions made by the Bolsheviks.From October to Brest-Litovsk is considered one of the most important works on the Russian Revolution and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Russia or the Bolshevik Revolution.We, however, indicated to the bourgeoisie a different line of future events. In a special declaration which we made in the Soviet Council a few days before the drive, we declared that the military advance would inevitably destroy all the internal ties within the army, set up its various parts one against the other and turn the scales heavily in favor of the counter-revolutionary elements, since it would be impossible to maintain discipline in a demoralized army--an army devoid of controlling ideas--without recourse to severe repressive measures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
