Books by Bernard Wolfe

A forgotten classic by one of the great American writers of the twentieth century, with introductions from Harlan Ellison and David Pringle.

On August 20, 1940, Marxist philosopher, politician, and revolutionary Leon Trotsky was attacked with an ice axe in his home in Coyoacan, Mexico. He died the next day. The author offers his account of Trotsky's assassination as witnessed through the eyes of an array of characters: the young American student, the Mexican police chief, and more.
