In 1940, the lost leader of the Russian Revolution was living, heavily guarded, in Mexico City when he was murdered by a Kremlin agent. Ousted by his arch-rival Stalin, the charismatic Bolshevik orator was seen by many as Lenin's true heir. This gripping account traces Trotsky's years in exile, his friendship with the artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, his critique of the Moscow show trials and the pact with Hitler, and the shadowy movements of his assassin, Ramon Mercader.
