Armed Socialist Trotsky

According to Machiavelli, all armed prophets were victorious and the unarmed were defeated. Deutscher tells the story of how Trotsky won unarmed in the greatest revolution of our age, how he later appeared as a victorious armed commander crushed under his armor, and then his years of exile and death. Deutscher, starting from Machiavelli's statement that all armed prophets are defeated and unarmed ones are defeated, tells how Trotsky defeated unarmed in the greatest revolution of our age, how he later appeared before us as an armed, victorious commander crushed under his armor, and his years of exile. “In the 1930s, Trotsky, along with a handful of his supporters, tried to prevent Stalin's brutal murders and betrayal. His heroic defense of the spirit of the revolution against bureaucratic executioners was like a torch in the storm. “In his magnificent biography, Isaac Deutscher restores to us the legacy of this humanist thinker and admirable revolutionary.” -Mike Davis- “This is the voice of the lost velvet revolution. Deutscher's trilogy gives hope to new generations who want to know what went wrong with communist-model socialism.” -Sheila Rowbotham-
