Trotsky: a Graphic Biography

Trotsky: a graphic biography/Rick Geary 103 pg.

This biography gives you a quick idea of Trotsky's life and ideas but is about what you would expect from something this short and graphic. It seems like I wrote a paper in high school about Trotsky but didn't have much memory of any details. Aside from the whole "revolution" and several periods in prisons or exile, I learned from this book that Trotsky liked to hunt and fish. He had 4 kids, all of whom met an early demise. In his later years, he had a brief fling with the artist Frida Kahlo. He was killed by a Stalinist agent who had integrated himself into the Trotsky household. - Christa
