"This triple biography weaves together the personal and public lives of Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924). Leon Trotsky (1879-1940), and Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) - the triumvirate behind the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution: behind the creation of the totalitarian Soviet state: and behind the repression and extermination of millions of their fellow countrymen." "Bertram D. Wolfe knew Trotsky and Stalin personally. Wolfe's insider knowledge - combined with his prodigious research and balanced-yet-critical perspective - contributed to this book's well-deserved reputation as a classic work as readable as it is unforgettable."--BOOK JACKET.
