Annotation
Leon Trotsky was a leading participant in Russia's 1917 Revolution and its steps toward building the world's first workers' democracy. A few years later he became a prime target and scapegoat during Stalin's bloody rise to power, which replaced workers' control with dictatorship. There have been many biographies of this remarkable man, but none provides as much insight into Trotsky's experience as both a leader of, and outcast exile from, the Russian Revolution. Written by two of his closest collaborators, this book provides an invaluable picture of a great revolutionary and the world-historic events in which he took part. Victor Serge, a dedicated revolutionary and distinguished novelist, worked closely with Natalia Sedova, a veteran Bolshevik and widow of Trotsky, to re-create Trotsky's life and ghastly death at the hands of an assassin.
