Description
Victor Serge's Memoirs of a Revolutionary is a gripping account of a life on the front lines of history. Born into a world of exiles and conspirators, Serge recounts his involvement with the notorious Bonnot Gang, his years in prison, and his role in the Russian Revolution. With vivid portraits of key figures, including Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin, Serge's memoirs offer a thrilling and unflinching look at the tumultuous events that shaped the 20th century. Expelled from the Soviet Union, Serge went into hiding in Paris, evading the KGB and the Nazis before fleeing to Mexico. His memoirs recount a life of activism, exile, and survival, shedding light on the complexities and contradictions of revolutionary politics. This new edition, translated by Peter Sedgwick, presents the entirety of Serge's book for the first time in English, offering a unique and compelling perspective on one of the 20th century's most fascinating figures.
