“Readers will be rewarded by examples of Trotsky’s extremely dry wit and insights into some of the main political and social battles in which he participated.”— Book News (Annotation ©2011 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
“One of the best books of reminiscences.… [Trotsky's] capacity for not measuring the historical process by the yardstick of his personal fate … makes this book so much better than the unconvincing apologias of kings and statesmen.… [The] author is obviously a born writer.”— The Nation Introduction by Joseph Hansen, Chronology of events and writings, 1929-1940, index. Now with enlarged type. |
