Important topic - shows that Stalin thought about political ideology rather than simply act instinctively
'Erudite, meticulously researched and full of interesting detail. ...Get hold of a copy.' - Mark Sandle, De Montfort University

And this is not so much because of his origniality as an 'innovator' of Marxism but, on the contrary, as its faithful developer.' -
