This work recounts the events leading up to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, focusing on the dynamics between various political factions, including the Bolsheviks, Social-Revolutionists, and Mensheviks, as well as the struggles within the Russian army and the impact of the war on the revolution itself. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the October Revolution, emphasizing the rapid developments and confusion surrounding the political landscape at the time. Trotsky discusses the relationship between the working class, peasantry, and the emerging power of middle-class intellectuals, highlighting how the war reshaped these groups' roles in the revolutionary movement. He reflects on the challenges of maintaining order in a chaotic environment while advocating for a more radical approach to peace negotiations amid the global conflict.
