Chinese Revolution
He wrote "The Tragedy of the Chinese Revolution", about the Chinese Revolution of 1925-27, first published in 1938 with a preface by Leon Trotsky. The book includes dramatic descriptions of the Shanghai Massacre of 1927, which wiped out Communists and those thought to be communist. Isaacs condemned the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party for following the instructions of Joseph Stalin to ally with the Nationalist Party rather than arming the workers and pursuing a genuinely revolutionary program.
