Trotsky (Part 2) by Robert Service, published by Hakusuisha
"Trotsky's policies were firmly within the framework of the Communist Party's authoritarianism, and he had every chance of victory. Even his Jewish origins were merely one obstacle to overcome. Unfortunately for him, Trotsky was not particularly gifted with tactical skills. He was clumsy in his ability to rally supporters. He alienated too many people unnecessarily at all levels of the party. There is no doubt that his worst enemy was himself." [From the text]
Questioning "Socialism in the 20th Century"
In 1917, Trotsky was the second-in-command to Lenin during the October Revolution. However, he lost the power struggle, resisted the Stalinist regime his entire life, and was exiled to Mexico. He was assassinated in 1940 by an assassin from the Soviet Union... This book is the definitive biography that delves into the complete picture of this "genius revolutionary."
The author, a professor at Oxford University and a leading expert in Russian history, does not portray Trotsky favorably by simply making Stalin the villain. The book also focuses on Trotsky's policy failures and difficulties in his personal and family relationships, pointing out that these contributed to his downfall. By meticulously examining drafts and letters, the author clarifies Trotsky's various problematic aspects, offering a different perspective from conventional biographies and autobiographies...
