Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Currently a special assistant to Russia's President Boris Yeltsin, Volkogonov (Lenin: A New Biography, LJ 10/15/94, and Stalin: Triumph and Tragedy, LJ 9/15/91) has carefully mined mountains of newly released sources in this study of Trotsky. The latest effort is a well-conceived political biography that clearly redresses the paucity of reliable works on the enigmatic Trotsky. It captures his enormous energy, his restless intellect, and his unswerving faith in the inevitability of world revolution. Volkogonov's subject has a tragic Greek cast?from his meteoric rise under Lenin to his brutal demise under Stalin. The present work complements and frequently overshadows Isaac Deutscher's comprehensive three-volume study (1954-63). Recommended for all but the smallest collections.?Mark R. Yerburgh, Fern Ridge Community Lib., Veneta, Ore.

From Booklist

Creator and leader of the Red Army, Trotsky earned his mystique by rushing to threatened fronts in his armored train, delivering inspiring speeches, and shooting counterrevolutionaries and deserters by the thousands in prosecuting the proletarian cause. It was his political ineptness that caused him to lose the postwar power struggle to Stalin. The late Volkogonov wrote this biography directly for Russian readers, many of whom knew Trotsky only as the archfiend of Stalinist demonology. Interested Westerners will also find this work extremely valuable as a counterpoint to the hagiographic The Prophet trilogy by Isaac Deutscher. Clearly the most colorful, literary, and oratorical of the Bolsheviks, Trotsky gets his due from Volkogonov (who quotes many fascinating extracts from the once-forbidden Soviet archives). As the lava of the revolutionary eruption cooled, Trotsky's bewitchment with world revolution became sorely dated. In this milestone portrait, Trotsky regains both his heroic and flawed aspects as a larger-than-life historical figure. Gilbert Taylor
