Trotsky biography

[Kirsty McCluskey]

Definitive?  No... but I would argue that Isaac Deutscher's trilogy is the
most durable and the most solid as a general biography of Trotsky.  There
are recent works of great value too which reconsider important elements of
his analysis, but Deutscher is the best and most comprehensive starting
point, I believe.
