Abstract
This monumental 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. wolf knew Trostsky and Stalin personally. Wolf’s insider knowledge- combined with his prodigious research and balanced-yet-critical perspective-contribute to this book’s well-deserved reputation as a classic work as readable as it is unforgettable. 
Description
The lives of three men who made the Russian Revolution possible—Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin—are the focus of this biographical account of the rise of socialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bertram Wolfe, a political scientist and historian of Russia, knew Trotsky and Stalin personally, and here brings his profound insider's knowledge to bear on his subjects. Three Who Made a Revolution recounts the early lives and influences of the three leaders, and shows the development of their diverging ideologies as decades gave strength to their cause and brought Russia closer to its turning point, a revolution that would alter the course of the twentieth century. - from Amzon
