Iliiiiiiiii’s Reviews > A Rebel's Guide to Trotsky > Status Update

Reading a bit about the events before the revolution, while waiting for (and missing) my bus. Damn, if what's written in this book it's true, then the Bolsheviks were one of the most revolutionary people that I've heard about. And one of the most well organised damn. The events preceding the revolution are soo fascinating. But some of the dynamics, especially the fascist coup threat, are awfully relatable for today.

I had to stop some times to check some facts and update my knowledge on the WWI and read a bit about the Internationals. Easy to follow. Slay everyone who was against the war during the WWI (apparently fewer orgs and people than I thought)

It's a very easy to understand and superficial introduction to Trotsky's life and ideas. What I really like about the book is that it is super easy to follow and makes a logical and cronological overview of his ideas. But it must be read as just an introduction, a very succint summary.
