If only someone could do for Lenin, what Deutscher did for Trotsky!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250295324149056708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-49659643100506516262019-04-13T00:01:53.925-04:002019-04-13T00:01:53.925-04:00I read the 3 vol. biography The Prophet, around 20...I read the 3 vol. biography The Prophet, around 20 yrs. ago.

Perhaps your audience is youthful enough to require this identification. But to some of us he's the one who (a) competed for political power with Kissinger, and who (b) alongside Carter set the whole murderous Afghanistan show, including 9/11, on the road.<br /><br />To Anonymous I'd say that reading Deutscher's trilogy might well enhance the time you have left. His biography of Stalin--only a single volume--is also an interesting read.Anonymous IInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-5866907261980324232019-04-12T15:50:04.752-04:002019-04-12T15:50:04.752-04:00Thank you for jogging me into reading this article...Thank you for jogging me into reading this article on Deutscher in The Nation:<br />https://www.thenation.com/article/the-red-emigrant/<br /><br />I've got the 3 volume Isaac Deutcher biography of Trotsky on my shelf. It has sat there for over 4 decades. I keep saying "I'm going to read these" but sadly I have yet to find the time. Life is short and as you can well appreciate, it gets shorter all the time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
