Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
The following bibliography of Trotsky’s writings consists only of books and pamphlets published in the English language. We hope shortly to be able to publish a complete annotated bibliography which will include not only books and pamphlets, but all his magazine and newspaper articles which have been published in English.
Where several editions of a work has appeared, we have listed the latest edition. Where a work has been known by different titles the alternate title has been put in parenthesis. We would appreciate hearing from our readers of any titles that have been omitted from this list, with information of date of publication and publisher.
