I realise all this may be a pretty tall order but anything would be appreciated, particualy if it is free. Thanks.

It might be hard to find a bio not still copyrighted.

Here is a link to an extensive collection of Trotsky's political wriiting,
which contains much autobiographical information:

The Trotsky Internet Archive Subject Indexes/Collected Writings Series

Trotsky was an excellent writer, and translates will into English.

Thank you, that is very helpful...If anybody knows any more sources please keep them coming.
