Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) - the leader of the Russian Revolution and Stalin's unyielding opponent - remains an immensely controversial figure seventy years after his assassination in Mexico City. In this penetrating analysis and comprehensive refutation of three recently-published biographies of Leon Trotsky by well-known British historians -- Professors Robert Service, Ian Thatcher and Geoffrey Swain -- David North raises troubling questions about the state of contemporary historical scholarship.
