Analysis
According to Berkman's preface, The Bolshevik Myth is "compiled from" the diary he kept during his two years in Russia, and most readers assume that it is Berkman's diary. Nicolas Walter researched Berkman's papers at the International Institute of Social History, however, and found that the diary format is a basically a literary device; Berkman essentially rewrote the material from his own diary to create The Bolshevik Myth.

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
