Robert Service draws on hitherto unexamined archives and on his profound understanding of Russian history to draw a portrait of the man and his legacy, revealing that though his followers have represented Trotsky as a pure revolutionary soul and a powerful intellect unjustly hounded into exile by Stalin and his henchmen. The reality is very different, as this masterful and compelling biography reveals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Service, Robert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465476411576,"sku":"9780330439695","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780330439695.jpg?v=1734739432","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780330439695","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
