Click on the title to link to the "Renegade Eye" blog for an entry with ex-leftist "bad boy" Christopher Hitchens having a discussion with Robert Service on his new book, a biography, "Leon Trotsky".
Markin comment:
I have read Service's other books on Bolsheviks and have not been particularly impressed. However without having read his Trotsky biography yet I nevertheless doubt that it will beat what I believe is still the definitive work, Isaac Deutscher's three volume "Prophet" set.
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
