This article presents information about the book "Three Who Made a Revolution," by Bertram D. Wolfe. The book is a collective biography of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin and a history of the immediate background of the Russian Revolution. In an opening chapter, Mr. Wolfe summarizes the story of Russia down to the end of the nineteenth century. Then he sketches the Russian revolutionary movement, that eerie compound of fantasy, frustration and fulfillment, with the dedicated and indomitable figure of Lenin moving to the foreground and finally dominating the whole picture. An entertaining sidelight of the book is Wolfe's cold war against the Soviet "historians."
