Notwithstanding the title…this is the most rewarding single study of Lenin that I have yet encountered… The really impressive feature of Ulam’s book is that he is thinking hard all the way. No comfortable historical generalization or biographical cliché escapes his critical attention, and he has a most satisfying way of asking, in effect—is this an adequate explanation; what else may be involved? In these days of rampant ‘be-that-as-it-may’ writing, Ulam’s intellectual seriousness is a great relief and pleasure.
