The POUM: Republic, Revolution, and Counterrevolution
by Andy Durgan
Pub. November 2025
RRP: £14 (pbk)
164 pages; 140x210mm.
ISBN: 978-1-872242-48-4
In 1935, the POUM, the Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification, was founded, playing a pivotal role at the outbreak of the Civil War and the revolution. Of the many dissident communist groups that began to emerge internationally in the 1930s, the POUM was the most important. This book by Andy Durgan tells the story of a revolutionary militancy of the first third of the 20th century, its party, its ideas, and its tragic fate. A story more relevant than ever in a world where the parallels with the 1930s, also threatened by the darkest reaction, compel us to read about that generation.
VOICES AGAINST PUTIN'S WAR

192 pages; 140x21mm.

This book comprises nine speeches in court by people who opposed Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and were arrested, tried and handed long jail sentences for doing so. There are also letters and interviews in which they made their case; two statements, made outside court, by other protesters who went on trial; and a chapter on resistance in the occupied territories of Ukraine, and in Russia, and the reaction by the Kremlin’s repressive machine.
IN STALIN'S SHADOW
Leon Trotsky and the Legacy of the Moscow Trials
by Douglas Greene
Pub. November 2025
RRP: £18 (pbk)
272 pages; 140x21mm.
ISBN: 978-1-872242-44-6
In Stalin's Shadow examines how Trotsky has been portrayed as a villainous figure in conspiracy theories ranging from Russian antisemitic television series to neo-Stalinist historical narratives. Greene analyzes the Moscow Trials of the 1930s and unmasks modern defenders of Stalin like Domenico Losurdo and Grover Furr, who continue to argue for Trotsky's guilt in alleged conspiracies.

This book is a collection of articles by socialists arguing why the left needs to back working class and democratic struggles globally, and put the priorities of people first instead of reducing politics to geopolitical manoeuvres between governments. A revolutionary ecosocialism fit for the 21st century will be based on anti-imperialism and international solidarity. Reclaiming Internationalism is part of the Pocket Books series from AntiCapitalist Resistance.
