Description
Amusing, well-researched, and surprisingly sophisticated, Leon Trotsky: An Illustrated Introduction is the perfect primer on the life and thought of the great leader and chronicler of the Russian Revolution.
With sympathy and humour, Tariq Ali and Phil Evans trace Trotsky's political career, from prison to the pinnacle of revolutionary power, and finally to his eventual exile and murder by Joseph Stalin.
