The biography will be condemned by remaining True Believers. For this reason alone it should be read by all Americans. Because the author was a dedicated Leninist for most of his life, we can see how wrenching is his education to the truth of the ruthless dictatorship Lenin created and perpetuated. More people murdered in the name of an unattainable goal than by any other regime in the history of the world. And we think Hitler is evil! A must read to get a clear perspective on most of the 20th Century.

Lenin, The West Still Has A Blind Spot...
As a history teacher, I find it appalling that anyone would write that this book is "biased" or that the fact that he was "dedicated to his cause" as a mitigating factor to his campaign of mass murder, erecting the conspiratorial police state, total destruction of the family, church, and freedom, and of course foisting the bankrupt theories of Marxism on an entire nation...the fact that this almost always requires mass murder should be revealing. The fact that anyone would in anyway mitigate anything done by Lenin is probably autobiographical...an enchantment with socialism...The story always seems to end the same way. The West, espeically the left, still has a blind side when it comes to utopianism. How many millions must be murdered before we get it. Read the book and learn....Read the Venona Secrets and about the GRU by Dr. Raymond Leonard. Good places to start.
