1861 Three Who Made a Revolution: A Biographical History, by Bertram D. Wolfe (read 20 Aug 1984) This 1948 book deals biographically with Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin up to 1914. This book is very rough on Stalin and also critical of Lenin. It discusses a lot of theory, as one should expect from its author, who in 1919 was one of the founders of the U.S. Communist Party and broke with Stalin in 1928. The author died in 1977. I did not get too absorbed in this book: maybe it is too heavy for a tyro in the field like me. ( )
