British historian Robert Service is immersed in life of one of the most prominent Bolshevik leaders' Trotsky. A biography »
"Trotsky. A Biography" is the last work of British historian Robert Service 
, a specialist in the Russian Revolution, this time it has been immersed in the life of one of the most prominent Bolshevik leaders, seeking their lights but also their shadows.
a figure which accounts for almost unscathed from the trial history.
anti Respected by many for having provided many arguments against Stalinism, idealized by many to embody the authentic Marxist revolutionary ideal had allegedly betrayed Stalin, Trotsky
anti
was and remains a figure more admired than repudiated.
But perhaps most striking about this work, well documented, is his interest in "unearthing what lies hidden in his life," scrutinize every detail of his past, going back to their childhood and also explore the darkness of the character. Service said that Trotsky detected a tendency to overestimate its importance, an undisguised arrogance, an apparent self-centeredness that often carried off their feet in reality and

also resorted to terror in his years against the Red Army. Despite the conviction

There was also something more: Trotsky had provided arguments to discredit the reputation of Stalin and his henchmen, and for some writers, the simplest is to adopt as their own ideas of others without thinking through. The fact is that Trotsky was wrong on many crucial ... "revolutionary, theorist, writer of great depth, a womanizer, an icon of revolution, Jewish anti-Semite, a philosopher of everyday life ... Robert Service has researched in the archives to give us a new version of Trotsky's life that sheds considerable light on the character and challenges the image people had of this key figure of the twentieth century.
