Few political figures of the twentieth century have aroused as
much passion, controversy, and curiosity as Leon Trotsky. His role
in history--his epic rise and fall, his fiery persona, his violent
end in Mexico in August 1940--holds a fascination that transcends
the history of the Russian Revolution. Bertrand M. Patenaude
masterfully interweaves the story of Trotsky's final years with
flashbacks to pivotal episodes in his career as a young Marxist,
revolutionary hero, Red Army chief, Bolshevik leader, outcast from
Stalin's USSR, and ultimately heretic of the Kremlin, targeted for
assassination by its secret police. Gripping, tragic, and based on
extensive firsthand research, Trotsky brilliantly illuminates the
fateful and dramatic life of one of history's most captivating and
important figures.
