| Summary, etc. |
"Hardly any political figure in this century has aroused so much passion and confused controversy as Trotsky. Stalin denounced him as Hitler's accomplice; he denounced Stalin as the arch betrayer of the revolution. For three decades the Trotskyist 'heresy' haunted Stalin, and the desire to expunge Trotsky from the memory of a whole generation has been behind the prodigious endeavor to rewrite Soviet history. The purpose of Mr. Deutscher's work is to restore the historical balance. From his pages Trotsky emerges in his real stature, in his strength and with all his weaknesses. He is portrayed as the most romantic, heroic, and tragic character in the revolution. The whole path of his development is traced: his early activities, the formation and crystallization of his distinctive and motivating idea-- the permanent revolution --his long feud and final reconciliation with Lenin and Bolshevism, and his role in the October insurrection of 1917. He is shown also as the first diplomat of the revolution and as the founder of the Red Army. The narrative in this volume ends with 1921, when Trotsky, then at the climax of power, unwittingly sowed the seeds of his downfall." -- from the dust jacket |

| Summary, etc. |
"In addition to Trotsky's own voluminous writings and the records of the revolutionary movements, the author has used the many memoirs of him written by friends and enemies Russian, German, Austrian, French, Swiss, Italian, English, American, Jewish, Polish. Mr. Deutscher is the first writer to examine the files of nearly all the clandestine pre-1917 periodicals to which Trotsky contributed or with which he was in some way connected. Most of these were studied at the Hoover Library, Stanford University. The Tsarist police archives have also been drawn upon and extensive use has been made of the Trotsky Archives at the Houghton Library, Harvard University, by far the most important collection of original documents on Soviet history existing outside the U.S.S.R." -- from the dust jacket |
