First, I should like to thank the Serge estate and Vlady Kibalchich for permission to use Serge’s material. Happily this work is no exception to the rule, and this editor would like to thank all equally for their help and advice in its preparation. It is common for writers to accumulate debts o f obligation to others during the period o f work on their volume, as no book is entirely the sole work o f one person, however lonely the writing o f it is. This volume is therefore humbly dedicated to their memory. The achievements o f Peter Sedgwick, David Widgery and Maria Enzenberger in their respective fields and in life need no further comment from me - they are there for all to see. Maria Enzenberger, who translated for Peter the Russian language Serge-Trotsky letters included here, sadly also died before this volume could be published. As many readers will know, David himself died in late 1992 during the final preparations for this work and before he could complete his appreciation o f Peter. T o my great regret I neither met nor corresponded with Peter Sedgwick and therefore turned to his friend D r David Widgery to write an appreciation o f Peter’s contribution to intellectual life, Serge studies and indeed to this volume. Whilst, for obvious reasons, this book is substantially different from any o f Peter’s projected versions, it draws extensively on the work Peter did, using his translations o f Serge’s material whenever possible, especially in the notes to the correspon dence, which have been included with very few changes and are a work o f great scholarship. Sadly, however, Peter died during his preparation for the work and the project then lay dormant for several years until revived by the Serge centenary, when I became its editor. The Serge-Trotsky correspon dence thus became part o f Peter’s contribution to this endeavour. This book was originally devised in the late 1970s as part o f a collab oration between Peter Sedgwick and Richard Greeman to get as many o f Serge’s titles into print as possible.
