Nicholas Mosley meticulously reconstructs the conspiracy orchestrated by Stalin's secret police, tracing the movements of the Spanish-born assassin Ramón Mercader as he infiltrated Trotsky's inner circle. Written to accompany the 1972 film of the same name, the book draws on extensive research to present a vivid and authoritative account of one of the twentieth century's most politically charged murders. Mosley brings a sharp literary intelligence to the material, illuminating the paranoia, ideological betrayal, and Cold War tensions that made Trotsky's violent end both inevitable and historically momentous.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956345712859,"sku":"2026200008331-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0205e86d-ca5e-4a5c-b787-51efb358be09.png?v=1783499944","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008331-secondhand-the-assassination-of-trotsky","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
