And Then There Was One

The Russian Marxists and the Origins of Bolshevism, by Leopold H. Haimson. 246 pp. Cambridge: Harvard University Press. $5.50

Scouting for the early origins of ideas that have touched off great historical upheavals can be just as exciting and rewarding as piecing together the clues that solve the mystery of a crime or exploring a river to its unknown source. Mr. Haimson has done some commendably thorough sleuthing in Russian revolutionary thought and psychology, with special emphasis on four pioneer Russian Marxists: Lenin, Plekhanov, Axelrod and Martov.
