Trotsky's Ice-Pick
<p>A group of gentlemen (two uniformed officers and three Fedora-topped suits) gather around a pick axe suspended from a rope. The flash-lit, posed arrangement employs the language of newspaper photography, with official parties offering up key evidence. The black and white printing along with dated clothing implies an older era of media relations. The scene is repeated in two sizes on each page, but the facial expressions and physical poses of the characters differ slightly, giving the book a cinematic quality.</p>
