It's a new topic for me, also, but I have yet to look anything up. I'm too busy reading the book at this point. I have vague memories of Trotsky from World History and didn't remember that he died in Mexico but have heard plenty about Stalin's abuses over the years. I saw that Don K just finished a book on the Mexican Revolution so suspect he will have much to add on that subject.
The discussion for The Lacuna is going up now in Good Reads. Stop by again if you get the chance and join us.
