Learn More about the Book
Portraying Leon Trotsky as a flawed genius, this biography contrasts his political acumen with his rather snobbish attitude to the detail of political organization & shows how his brilliance at strategy & diplomacy failed to save him from the studied malevolence of Josef Stalin.
