Leon Trotsky. The Portrait of a Youth.

First English Edition, First Impression. With a newly written preface in which the author disowns the American edition and prints a letter to him from Trotsky. A seminal biography and very scarce in dustjacket.

8vo. Original red cloth, titles to spine in black, top edge stained red. With the dustjacket. Illustrated with 8 photographic plates. The most minor of spotting to the fore edge but an excellent copy in the rather sunned dustjacket with some very small pieces missing at the top of the spine panel.
