About
A wry, thought-provoking fictional portrayal of ten pivotal weeks in the life of Leon Trotsky, inspired by the
Russian revolutionary's exile in New York City in 1917, by the New York Times bestselling author of The
Company
January 12, 1917: An ocean liner docks in New York Harbor. Among the disembarking emigrants is one Lev
Davidovich Bronshtein-better known by his nom de guerre, Leon Trotsky. Bronshtein has been on the run for
a decade, driven from his beloved Russia after escaping political exile in Siberia. He lives for-and is ready to
sacrifice his life for-a workers' revolution, at any cost. But is he ready to become an American?
In the weeks leading up to the February Revolution that will eventually see Lenin's Bolsheviks seize power,
Bronshtein haunts the streets, newspaper offices, and socialist watering holes of New York City, wrestling with
the difficult questions of his personal revolutionary ideology, his place in his own family, his relationship to Lenin,
and, above all, his conscience.
Master of the espionage novel, Robert Littell brings to life the world-famous revolutionist's sojourn in the Bronx
in this extraordinary meditation on purpose, passion, and the price of progress.
