Peking is not only unrealistic about us. Chairman Mao even thinks of himself as the successor to Marx, Lenin and Stalin, whereas in actual fact, as the ruler of China, he is much more a successor of the emperors who ruled at Peking until 1912 when Mao was already eighteen years of age. To hear the Peking leaders talk talk you would think they were an off-shot of European Socialism. Actually the problems they face and the methods they use are in large part inherited from Chinese history...

He then summarizes the liberal, non-Bolshevik Socialist, monarchist, Trotskyite, and Leninist positions before adding his own interpretation. Equally impressive are his analyses of Lenin as the ruler of a state. Here he gives a very reasonable explanation of Lenin's reasons for introducing the New Economic Policy. When he writes about the Comintern, Ulam not only manages to convey a great deal of information, but also elucidates the personal motivations of Comintern founders and members, and recreates...
