Just finished this and I enjoyed it rather a lot.

Are there any other "classic" biographies you can recommend? Wiki has nothing. Or "classic" nonfiction in general.

Carlye's Frederick the Great is next on my list.

Got the one volume edition of this. How’s it read? The size is very intimidating.

its fucking kino

>>9910843
first volume is very very readable. Did it in two sittings.
Next two drag a little more as the time frame is considerably expanded and theres a whole bunch of Trotsky being autistsic at some minute detail of policy.
>>
paul frölich's Rosa Luxemburg is probably much in the same line.

A brief google shows this to be a fabricated quote.

Trotsky barely considered himself jewish, and he certainly wasnt a zionist.

If you think Trotsky is anything but a criminal which has to blood of tousands of russians on his handss you obviously have fallen for left wing indoctrination.

>that's the level of american education
I was speaking about the millions of russian plebs which have been gulaged due to this ideology and worked to death in a way not even Hitler was going about the jews. The fact that you don't even know that even more died in the Holodomir and after they got Poland and eradicated their brightest minds is shameful. Think about why you don't learn about all those Holocausts, but only about a single one, which wasn't even the worst - while ignoring all other groups beside the jews there.

Christopher Hitchen's biography of Jefferson was surprisingly good

Why is it that stormfags like to fabricate quotes?

Trotsky said a lot of awful shit, why make something up?

>>9914940
Their idea of a Marxist is just "cartoon supervillain". They probably don't even Google these things before reposting them.

Trotsky was a dick anyway, went full autistic and fucked over Makhno

>>9910820
Now read Grover Furr to learn all the ways Trotsky lied and collaborated with fascists.

The Life of Samuel Jonson is THE biography. I've also heard Roosevelt's life was interesting. Plutarch wrote biographies.

This made me kek in napoleon the great

"Josephine always took a great deal of trouble over her make-up and clothing. She had mirrors placed in the bedrooms of her houses and palaces, was charming and affable – though not intelligent enough to be witty – and knew perfectly what kind of attentions successful men liked.
Asked whether Josephine had intelligence, Talleyrand is said to have replied: ‘No one ever managed so brilliantly without it.’"
