you can compare chapters 25 of both the culture of critique and all of trotsky's works and note that the ability to generate an acrostic was about the same, prose slightly superior

It's alright, but somewhat dry and technical (lots of detail about who said what in a meeting on X date and what their political aims were in doing that, maneuvers and supplies for different revolutionary groups, etc). I'd reccomend John Reed's Ten Days That Shook the World or the more recent October by China Mieville if you want a history of the RR. The Revolution Betrayed is better, and still the best criticism of Stalin (though, again, very in-depth).

Also, if you want a little insight into Trotsky as a person, The Man Who Loved Dogs is a great historical novel covering his last days leading up to assassination in Mexico (by the Cuban writer Leonardo Padura).
