I'd call Pathfinder books or Monad Press (the SWP publishing house in NYC)
to locate copies of these speeches. By all accounts T was spellbinding as
speaker. In one contemporary history, a Cadet (liberal) supporter is
reported as standing next to the author at a Trotsky speech at which T
concluded his peoration by asking the audience to swear fidelity unto
death to the revolution. The Cadet joined the oath. The author, walking
out, remarked, But you hate the revolution. "I know," said the Cadet. "But
when that man talks I can't help myself." --Justin
