Acceptable condition. Printing error copy. The book has been cut incorrectly so there is a slant to the top and bottom edge and the text is slightly out of line with the orientation of the pages themselves. There is scuffing around the edges and corners of the cover with creasing to the bottom of the spine as well as a 5mm tear to the bottom of the spine. Otherwise in good condition with pages crisp and clean.

About this product

Product Information

Few political figures of the twentieth century have aroused as much controversy as the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Trotsky's extraordinary life and extensive writings have left an indelible mark on revolutionary conscience, yet there was a danger that his name would disappear from history. Originally published in 1954, Deutscher's magisterial three-volume biography was the first major publication to counter the powerful Stalinist propaganda machine. In this definitive biography, now reissued in a single volume, Trotsky emerges in his real stature, as the most heroic, and ultimately tragic, character of the Russian Revolution.

  • Delighted with my purchase

    This is an excellent book I’ve been wanting to buy for a while. It’s usually three separate books, which would have individually retailed at nearly £90. This price is excellent. Issac Deutcher is a renown marxist biographer and this book it a detailed account of Trotsky’s life.

  • Fantastic historically as well as politically!

    This is a highly knowledgeable, politically insider, and sound account of Leon Trotskys life and achievements! I regret I did not read this enormous work in my early youth.
