Resistance Books and the IIRE are appealing for donations to publish an English translation of Per una storia della IV internazionale. La testimonia di un comunista controcorrente by the Italian socialist Livio Maitan (1923 - 2004).
We have almost reached our goal of 5,000 euros, partly thanks to a significant donation in the form of translation work.
Towards a history of the Fourth International: The testimony of a communist against the current
by Livio Maitan
Eighty years ago, the Fourth International was founded, inspired by the ideas of Leon Trotsky. The tool created in the aftermath of October 1917, the Third (Communist) International, had been transformed into a branch of of the diplomacy of the Soviet Union, purged the national parties, and ended in Germany in a defeat without a fight to Nazism.
