Summary
This book examines how two pivotal figures of 1917, Vladimir Lenin and Woodrow Wilson, shaped the modern world through their competing visions. Arthur Herman explores how Lenin's communist revolution in Russia and Wilson's idealistic plans for international order after World War I set the stage for decades of global conflict. The book argues that the ideological clash between these leaders created fundamental tensions that defined the twentieth century, from the Cold War to contemporary geopolitical struggles. Herman analyzes how their decisions in this critical year established patterns of disorder that continue to influence international relations today.
