Loved the line in the review, "Men of average ability—albeit of inordinate determination and single-mindedness—have often been able to reach legendary stature because crucial details of their biographies have been obscured or rewritten, and their thoughts concealed within an impenetrable fog of Leninist vocabulary and rhetoric."
Speaks well and too well to today for many politicians around the world.
Taking your suggestion, I have ordered a copy. Many thanks.
I once could repeat from memory a couple of the statements in the book. It is somewhere in my library. Will have to find it.
