Leon Trotsky was a key political figure of the twentieth century - a
leader of the Russian Revolution, founder of the Red Army, author of
books on literature, history, morality and politics. Leon Trotsky:
Writings in Exile contains some of his most insightful and penetrating
works. Thrown out of Russia by Stalin, Trotsky settled in Mexico, and
turned to the only weapon he had left - words. In these writings he
defends the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, warns prophetically of fascism
and analyses anti-colonial movements in the global south. This
collection gives a sense of the real Trotsky - passionate, humanist,
Marxist.
