Jules Archer was an American author who wrote many volumes of non-fiction history for a general audience and for young adults.
Archer served four years during World War II with the Army Air Corps in the Pacific theater. He is the author of many books on U.S. history, political events, and personalities, including The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR, and Jungle Fighters: A G.I. War Correspondent's Experiences in the New Guinea Campaign.
The very limited cross-checking I did already made some "facts" written in the book seemed suspicious... and there's no bibliography. Really liked certain arrangements in the book, though——especially the ending——"The heart, too, is very large." Rather than a faded historical figure, this book gives some sense of Leon Trotsky as a real person, as a human being.
