The summer of 1940 found 60-year-old firebrand Leon Trotsky residing in exile in Coyoacan, Mexico, still agitating along with his pen and raging from the death he believed certain Stalin was bound to deliver - any day now. In The Death of Trotsky, Cecelia Holland brings this fated and fatal day to life, from its quotidian beginnings to its remarkable close. Between Trotsky's waking and his final slumber, she probes the outer-workings and internal thoughts of these who had been with him till the end, illuminating a guy who exited life as he lived it: defiantly. Cecelia Holland, author of more than 30 catalogs and articles, lives in northern California with her family.
