Even though Trotsky, in his 1935 Preface to the Second English Edition, admits that it was the Editor’s idea to include “terrorism” in the book’s title, and that Trotsky’s own concern is “not at all the defence of ‘terrorism’ as such,” it leads to much confusion when he devotes an entire chapter to terrorism without either defining it or providing its justification (moral or otherwise).
