The Life and Death of Trotsky by Robert Payne

In this compelling biography, Payne recreates the man in all his facets. He reveals Trotsky's inner seeds of self-destruction, his terrible errors, his excessive pride, his supreme contempt for others. He unravels power plays at the highest levels of the Russian government, the immense struggle between Stalin and Trotsky, the twisted path of international intrigue that led to Trotsky's political downfall and, ultimately, his death at the hands of a mysterious assassin.

First published 1977 (US) 1978 (UK)

Robert Payne (1911-1983) had over a hundred books published on a wide range of subjects during his lifetime. The Russian series, in particular ‘The Life and Death of Lenin’ and ‘The Rise and Fall of Stalin’, raised his reputation as biographer to enormous stature.

‘Probably no author of this century has produced so many books at such a relatively high level of scholarship’ – The Times
