Probably the most scathing of Stalin is "The Revolution Betrayed", published in 1937. In this work Trotsky compares Stalin's rise to power and his subsequent policies with the Thermidorian Reaction in the French Revolution when the radicals, led by Robespierre were removed form office and executed.
Other notable works are: "In Defence of Marxism" and "In Defence of October", both about the gains of the Bolshevik revolution and how the lessons learnt could, and should, be applied to other countries.
Trotsky was a a prolific writer, much of it, however, is frankly rather dull – about specific concerns within the USSR or in other countries.
