I am curious if he would continue using communism throughout or it was just a very ill placed beginning of the book.
If former, I wonder what the narrative he wants to set.
He did use simple clear words for RSS whereas shrouded Communism in fractions, abstract words etc.

Coming to the preface, the writing seemed impersonal . I would have liked to see a bit of the motivation of the author, his journey to gather information etc (used to see the passion behind the authors of such books). Additionally, he has mentioned it is not going to be exhaustive but would pick and choose certain events without informing the readers the criteria for it.

Preface : Very surprised that the author somehow picked up Indian Communism to draw a parallel. I don't understand the need for this and it seemed sudden. Additionally, he tried to use communism and its state as a way to highlight how more successful RSS became without giving Communism a fair shot.
