About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: McGraw-Hill, 1977. Book has 498 pages with a few illustrations. DJ has chip at bottom of spine. From the author's introduction: He was a Jew, a Russian, a European, a cosmopolitan. He was well read, at ease in any society, able to make himself understood in five or six languages. He did not, like Lenin, carry with him a heavy burden of private obsessions. To the end of his life he remained the questing student, seeking, probing, attempting to come to grips with insoluble problems. Pride was his fatal flaw.... Handsome, eloquent, possessing physical courage and grace of manner, he strode across the world as though it belonged to him. There was no limit to his daring. Like Napoleon he dared to do impossible things, and like Napoleon he was deeply troubled when he learned that not everyone admired him and that there were many who wanted to destroy him. So he became one of the tragic giants of our time, and not the least of them.. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
