Isaac Deutscher was planning to write a biography of Lenin after he
completed the Trotsky trilogy. But he changed his mind and wrote
one of Stalin instead. This was necessary, he argued, to show that
Stalin is an objective fact. He won the faction fight. We lost. He
can't be ignored. the tome on Stalin duly appeared and was
respectfully received. Then he began work on Lenin. It was intended
as countering the deadening hagiographies produced by Moscow and
others. His Lenin would not be a godhead but a revolutionary who
committed mistakes like his colleagues. Deutscher died, completing
a single chapter, which is this book. A taste of what we lost
forever.
