Leon Trotsky.....

Trotsky, who played Satan to Stalin's God and upon whom total anathema was pronounced. A revolutionary and general, an administrator and political theorist - Trotsky needs no further claim to fame, but he was also a literary critic of note, well-regarded enough to have attracted the attention of T.S. Eliot and F.R. Leavis.

Siegel's introduction to Leon Trotsky on Literature and Art opens with a vignette of him rushing from front to front in his famous armoured train, busy winning the civil war but still finding the time to read French novels.
