Timeline

2005

Broué died in Grenoble, France, in his sleep in the early hours of July 27, 2005, at the age of 79 from prostate cancer. Five children survived him: two sons and three daughters.

2003

Between 2003 and his death, he was a close collaborator and supporter of the International Marxist Tendency.

1989

He was active in the Internationalist Communist Party and then the Internationalist Communist Organisation before he was expelled in 1989.

Broué married three times. His third wife, Andrée, died in 1989 from cancer.

1988

His book Trotsky (1988) counters the work of Isaac Deutscher. He worked for three years at Harvard, to which Trotsky had sold his papers in 1940. Broué and assistants were the first researchers to use them since the archive opened in 1980. Alan Woods has called it "a very healthy antidote to the superficial and pretentious philistinism of Isaac Deutscher".

1977

In 1977, he set up the Trotsky Institute to publish in French all of Trotsky's writings (27 volumes have been published). He also founded and edited the Cahiers Léon Trotsky, devoted to the history of Trotskyism.

1965

He became a secondary school teacher until 1965, when he became lecturer in history at the University of Grenoble and then professor.

1952

In 1952, he followed Pierre Lambert during a split in the movement and continued as a "Lambertist" for many years.

1943

When Joseph Stalin disbanded the Comintern in 1943, Broué became strongly critical of Stalinism and resigned from the party as a result. By 1944, he became a Trotskyist and joined the Fourth International, and he remained a Trotskyist for the rest of his life.

1940

By 1940, with Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in a non-aggression pact, he helped organize a Communist Party cell at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris. The French Communist Party expelled the organizers and said that Broué suffered from Trotskyism. The accusation piqued his interest, and he began reading about Trotsky from the private library of the teacher Élie Reynier.

1936

In 1936, Broué supported a French general strike as well as the Spanish Republic.

1926

Pierre Broué (8 May 1926 – 27 July 2005) was a French historian and Trotskyist revolutionary militant whose work covers the history of the Bolshevik Party, the Spanish Revolution and biographies of Leon Trotsky.
