Title: Magnificent in its Uselessness
Review: Wilson succeeds in writing some of the worst "history" ever. Tearfully boring (as is usually the case with literature experts who write history), Wilson's obviously enamored with Communism and Lenin, and so neglects to consult available historical references that would have given a better-rounded and accurate picture of the events of the time. This book is an incredible example of how not to write history. In over thirty years of avid reading, I have never been lulled to sleep so many times by a single book as this one.
