Description
|
|
|
|
A hero to some, a ruthless revolutionary to others, Lev Davidovich Bronstein—known to history as Leon Trotsky—is profiled in this graphic novel format by the celebrated cartoonist Rick Geary, who has similarly drawn the lives of J. Edgar Hoover and a series of notorious Victorian and 20th-century murderers. Trotsky's life becomes a window on the Bolshevik revolution, the creation of the Soviet Union, the horrors of World War I, and the establishment of international communism. Geary depicts Trotsky's boyhood in the Ukraine, his contentious relationship with Vladimir Lenin, his political successes and his exiles, his moonlight romance with Frida Kahlo in Mexico, and his 1940 assassination on the orders of Josef Stalin.
