The 1952 Revolutionby José VillaA shortened version of this article by José Villa was published in the special Bolivia issue of Revolutionary History Vol.4, No.3 Summer 1992, pp.58-85, with the title A Revolution Betrayed: The POR and the Fourth International in the Bolivian Revolution. The full text is now available here for the first time. It provides access to a great deal of important material not otherwise available in English on one of the key historical moments in Trotskyism. The textz by José Villa (Poder Obrero – Bolivia) is from Bases no.5 Autumn 1992. The text was translated by Mike Jones. Cde Jones expressed his criticisms of Cde José ‘s text in the form of a letter to Revolutionary History Vol.4, No.4, Spring 1993. Revolutionary History would be grateful to be informed of any corrections to spellings of proper names, or other Spanish words in this article. (Any such problems arise while preparing this material for the website, not of course from Mike Jones’s translation.) Finally, Revolutionary History is painfully aware of thepoor quality of the HTML in this document, for which we apologisein advance to readers and Cde José. We will improve on this when time permits. We thought it desirable to release the document in its present form, as it has taken too long already. The 1952 Revolution
