Publisher's noteA graphic tribute to the polarizing public figure sets his life in a historical context that reveals his role in key twentieth-century events and includes coverage of his relationships with Stalin and Frida Kahlo. By the award-winning creator of J. Edgar Hoover: A Graphic Biography. A graphic tribute to the polarizing public figure sets his life in a historical context that reveals his role in key twentieth-century events and includes coverage of his relationships with Stalin and Frida Kahlo. By the award-winning creator of J. Edgar Hoover: A Graphic Biography. Trotsky was a hero to some, a ruthless demon to others. To Stalin, he was such a threat that he warranted murder by pickax. This polarizing figure set up a world conflict that lasted through the twentieth century, and in Trotsky: A Graphic Biography, the renowned comic artist Rick Geary uses his distinct style to depict the stark reality of the man and his times. Trotsky's life becomes a guide to the creation of the Soviet Union, the horrors of World War I, and the establishment of international communism as he, Lenin, and their fellow Bolsheviks rise from persecution and a life underground to the height of political power. Ranging from his boyhood in the Ukraine to his fallout with Stalin and his moonlight romance with Frida Kahlo, Trotsky is a stunning look at one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers and the far-reaching political trends that he launched. AnnotationUsing well-researched text and classic-feeling black-and-white drawings, Rick Geary tells the story of Lev Davidovich Bronstein, better known as Leon Trotsky, one of the Bolshevik revolutionaries during the Russian Revolution and a principle, rational proponent of Marxist theory who led resistance efforts against Stalin.
