But Waterloo was one peak only in the career of this phenomenal man, and it is the achievement of this major biography that it reveals the subtlety and full variety of Wellington's genius as well as the fascinating complexity of England in his time. He was born Arthur Wesley, third son of the Earl of Mornington, in 1769 ~the same year as Napoleon. His family, which belonged to the ruling caste of Englishmen in lreland, was long on the tradition of proud service to the King and chronically short of funds. Neither his childhood nor his years at Eton were happy; but when he went to Anjou at seventeen, to study at France's Royal Academy of Equitation, he came into his own, learned well, and emerged qualified and cosmopolitan. He joined the British Army as an ensign and, for the next few years, rose through the ranks. He courted Kitty Pakenham but her family would not allow his suit~his family was not rich enough~so he went to lndia at the age of twenty~seven still a bachelor. It was in lndia that he made his name. There he became a scholar and a soldier. He returned a Knight of the Bath, a major~general, a hero to his countrymen and acceptable, at last, to the Pakenhams. (He had courted Kitty by post over the twelve intervening years; it was scarcely surprising that the woman he married proved different indeed from the charming girl he had left.) When he was forty, the youngest lieutenant~general in the army, he took command of the allied armies in the Peninsular War. With Napoleon's downfall, abdication and exile to Elba, the hero of Europe began a gay career as ambassador to Paris. All the ladies, from the formidable Madame de Staël to the melting Signora Grassini, vied ~often successfully~for his favors. His behavior with them and as a diplomat caused some disquiet, and there was evident relief when he was dispatched to the Congress of Vienna. When word came of Napoleon's escape, Wellington took command once more, and after the spectacular eve~of~battle ball in Brussels, led the British and Dutch~Belgian armies to triumph at Waterloo. ".…

Let nothing be forgotten." These lines from a poem by a Leningrad poetess are incised in the wall of the cemetery where nearly one million victims of the siege of Leningrad lie. In scale, the tragedy of Leningrad dwarfs even the Warsaw ghetto or Hiroshima. The siege was the longest a great city has undergone since Biblical times. It was endured by more than three million people, of whom just under one~half died . most of them in six months~from late October, 1941, through mid~April, 1942~when the temperature went from 20 to 30 degrees below zero, and there was no heat, no light, no transport, no food or water; the front was still active; bombs and shells rained down; and the cannibals~some say~became kings. For twenty~five years Harrison Salisbury has been assembling the material out of which he forged this epic story. He went to Leningrad in January, 1944, after the siege was lifted, and talked to the survivors. He has examined Russian archives and secret records only recently made available: it would not have been possible to piece together this puzzle during Stalin's lifetime. The narrative begins~like a Greek tragedy~with the factors that were to determine Leningrad's fate: Stalin's paranoid fear and hatred of the city . . . the most Europeanized in Russia; his inability to believe Hitler would attack; the crucial errors of Leningrad's political leaders vis~a~vis the Kremlin. Given those elements, what followed was inevitable. Salisbury exposes for the first time the role of Stalin's political police throughout the war and the endless blunders of the military. But he celebrates with ardor the magnificent citizens of Leningrad~artists, writers, factory workers, mothers, old men, children~who struggled, starved and died in the streets, but did not yield. The culminating disaster, with which the story concludes, was the "Leningrad Affair" three years after the war ended. In that infamous plot, contrived by Stalin, almost every official who had been instrumental in the city's survival was implicated. All were convicted and executed. What Hitler's armies left unfinished, Stalin achieved. The epic of the 900 days is known only in part inside Russia, and scarcely at all in the outside world. Harrison Salisbury has now told it for all time, in a narrative whose range and power are commensurate with the subject. …

The story of Only One Year began on December 19, 1966, as Svetlana Alliluyeva left Russia for India, on a one month's visa, in the custody of an employee of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, carrying the urn that held her husband's ashes. It ended on December 19, 1967, in Princeton, New Jersey, as she and two American friends joined in a toast to her new life in freedom. That year of pain, discovery, turmoil, and new hope reached its climax in the decision to break completely with the world of Communism, to turn her back on her country, her children, her friends, and face the unknown world. How and why had she come to that decision? To answer that question is Svetlana Alliluyeva's major purpose in Only One Year. To answer it fully, to make perfectly clear what the free world feels like after the Communist world, she describes in moving, personal detail her daily life in the U.S.S.R.; Stalin, his yes~men, and some of the men now in power (like Kosygin and Suslov); the steadfast and difficult life of the Moscow intellectuals who made up her own close circle and "are still behind those bars . without any promise of a better and freer life. Perhaps just the contrary." Twenty Letters to a Friend was written in secrecy for the eyes of a few friends only. Only One Year was written in freedom, without fear, after calm reflection, and addressed to a world of readers. Every page is eloquent of the difference. The style has the impact and spontaneity of speech, now urgent, now relaxed, passionate, dryly humorous, tender. A chilling interview with a Soviet bureaucrat, the streets of Delhi, a village on the banks of the Ganges are swiftly, vividly presented to the reader. And emotions come through with such immediacy that tension builds from page to page. What Svetlana Alliluyeva has set down here about the unchanging basis of the Soviet State, her father, and her own progress toward liberty give this book pre~eminent significance. Beyond that, however, it has the irresistible appeal of one human being's yearning for truth . a profoundly touching record, speaking directly to the reader's heart. Only One Year has been translated into English by Paul Chavchavadze, author of Marie Avinov: Pilgrimage Through Hell and other works.…
