by Leon Trotsky
As in all great revolutions, the social struggle in revolutionary Russia was soon transferred to military terrain. The Bolsheviks then faced the task of building an army representative of the new social regime, defeating internal counterrevolutionary armies, and driving out invading forces of 16 countries, spearheaded by the imperialist powers.
Without prior military training Leon Trotsky, under Lenin’s leadership, organized the Red Army and led it to victory in the civil war that followed the October Revolution. At the same time he wrote about the problems of organizing a new army, the nature of the revolutionary warfare, and how a revolutionary army differs from other armies.
These writings are a remarkable example of the application of Marxism to practical matters. Nor are they of interest only to students of warfare. Trotsky’s point of departure is always that military matters cannot be separated from their living social and political context.
