Trotsky

Als praktischer Revolutionär, Theoretiker, Führer einer Splittergruppe, sprühender Autor, Frauenheld (und als solcher z.B. Liebhaber von Frida Kahlo), Ikone der Revolution, anti-jüdischer Jude, Alltagsphilosoph, Vater und verfolgtes Opfer lebte Trotsky ein brillantes Leben in einer außergewöhnlichen Zeit. Robert Service zieht für seine meisterhafte Biographie bisher unerforschtes Archivmaterial hinzu sowie sein profundes Wissen über die russische Geschichte. Er zeichnet das Porträt eines Mannes und seines Vermächtnisses und enthüllt eine Wirklichkeit, die der Darstellung seiner Anhänger widerspricht, die Trotsky als der puren revolutionären Seele und des mächtigen Intellektuellen sehen, der zu Unrecht von Stalin und seiner Henkern gejagt wird.
