The prophet
Trotsky
Trotsky is perhaps the most intriguing and, given his prominence, the most understudied of the Soviet revolutionaries. Using new archival sources including family letters, party and military correspondence, confidential speeches, and medical records, Service offers new insights into Trotsky.
Stalin
"Drawing on hitherto unpublished material from the Moscow archives, only recently opened up to Western scholars, and on personal testimonies and private papers gathered from all over Russia, Georgia and Abkhazia, Service challenges the conventional view of the Soviet leader as simply a murderous bureaucrat."--BOOK JACKET.
