Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The astonishing true story of the demise of Leon Trotsky, the charismatic intellectual of the Russian Revolution who might have succeeded Lenin and become ruler of the Soviet Union. Instead, he found himself in exile in Mexico, his life in danger from Mexican communists and his wife suspicious of his relationship with Frida Kahlo.

Publisher's description:

Leon Trotsky was the charismatic intellectual of the Russian Revolution, a brilliant writer and orator who was also an authoritarian organizer. This title offers a reconstruction of one of the most infamous state crimes, and a panoramic view of Trotsky's incredible life. It presents the squalor, glory, fanaticism and bloodshed of a deadly rivalry.
