Impressive work on one of the most influential figures of modern socialism. Trotsky was a Jewish intellectual, who won plaudits from the left and the right in his open criticism of Stalinism. He wrote many books and was an astute philosopher. The number of works he has rivalled some of the great writers, and like Che Guevara, they were very well-read. Che Guevara could boast of reading an assortment of books every day, and Trotsky is one of the great Russian authors, he has a massive legacy not only on politics but literature.
