Trotsky : A Biography Hardback - 2009

MacMillan, London, 2009. Edition Unstated. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. Revolutionary practitioner, theorist, factional chief, sparkling writer, `ladies’ man’ (e.g., his affair with Frieda Kahlo), icon of the Revolution, anti-Jewish Jew, philosopher of everyday life, grand seigneur of his household, father and hunted victim, Trotsky lived a brilliant life in extraordinary times. Robert Service draws on hitherto unexamined archives and on his profound understanding of Russian history to draw a portrait of the man and his legacy, revealing that though his followers have represented Trotsky as a pure revolutionary soul and a powerful intellect unjustly hounded into exile by Stalin and his henchmen. The reality is very different, as this masterful and compelling biography reveals. Size: 180mm - 250mm. 600 pages. Remnants of old price label on the rear cover..
