Stalin vs Trotsky: The Assassination That Changed History, with Josh Ireland
Josh Ireland, historian and author of The Death of Trotsky, reconstructs the 1940 plot that ended Trotsky's life. He traces Trotsky’s exile to Mexico, Ramón Mercader’s infiltration, and the Soviet machinery behind the killing. The conversation also connects this historical assassination to modern state-directed political violence.
