Opis

This biography of Trotsky provides readers with the first full account of Trotsky's role during the Russian Civil War as Commissar for War.

• Concentrates on Trotsky's years in power as much as his years in opposition.

• Will appeal to those interested in revolutionary politics, modern politics and political activists.

• Offers unique insight into the Russian Civil War and Trotsky's role in founding the Red Army, which has been frequently summarised but never analysed.

• 2007 might see some marking of 90 years since 1917. There are likely to be various events and commemorations.

• Will show Trotsky as a pivotal figure of world history.
