Reviews

[Em · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lots of fun because it really brings historical figures down to earth. Sometimes, they're very petty. Beyond entertainment, it becomes very clear through reading this book how and why the bolshevik/menshevik split was a necessary step in the development of Revolutionary Social Democracy in Russia. 6/5 would recommend.
