Jean van Heijenoort was a brilliant young Frenchman who became the bodyguard of Leon Trotsky for seven years, the lover of Frida Kahlo, and then a world-renowned symbolic logician. Anita Feferman, who knew him personally, brings this fascinating man back to life with sympathy, intelligence, and verve, and provides an absorbing cross-section of the Trotskyite world that included Andre Breton and Diego Rivera. - Back cover
