"The autocratic Russian Empire was fertile ground for political terrorists. Boris Savinkov is one of the best known with an extraordinarily colorful history as terrorist, intrigant, writer, poet, and memoirist. The present memoir of Savinkov, newly translated and meticulously annotated, is a delightful read on a grim subject for both serious and casual readers as well as for professional historians."-Hiroaki Kuromiya
