The compilation of the most important events and turns in the life of the author of "The Machine and the Screws" allows us to understand that this is a book, with all the rigors of workshop and reluctance to refer to his own life, perhaps the most personal in the historian's oeuvre. In it, we are dealing with a kind of "life-writing": almost a peer of the Soviet Union describes the experiences that befell him and all his fellow citizens, fellow travelers of Soviet Russia. He describes and proves - with his own life and the acuity of his analysis - how it was possible, contrary to the intentions of successive secretaries, NOT to become another screw.
