He explained his motivation for writing the book in the introduction: "Defending Stalin's work, essentially defending Marxism-Leninism, is an important, urgent task in preparing ourselves for class struggle under the New World Order." In 1994, Martens published Another View of Stalin, a history of the Soviet Union under Stalin that challenges in particular the dominant view of collectivization in the USSR and the Great Purge. Martens wrote on the political history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he has lived and traveled extensively. In 1968 he founded the Maoist group "Alle macht aan de arbeiders" (All Power to the Workers), which in 1979 became the Workers' Party of Belgium. He is also the chairman of the Workers' Party of Belgium. Ludo Martens is a Belgian historian noted for his work on francophone Africa and the Soviet Union.
