Knox, With the Russian Army vol. I pp42, 331 Stone alternatively ascribes Yanushkevich’s position to War Minister V.A. Sukhomlinov’s practice of appointing officers unlikely to threaten his own position, and only for a short period of time, to the post of Chief of the General Staff – ‘[He was]…chosen in the usual Sukhomlinov way to prevent anyone dangerous from taking over the job, and surviving in it from sheer force of characterlessness.’Stone, The Eastern Front, p52 Historian David R. Jones is less harsh in his assessment, pointing out that whatever his shortcomings Yanushkevich was a supply expert whose ideas were incorporated in the 1914 field regulations.David R. Jones ‘Imperial Russia’s Forces at War’ in Allan R. Millet & Williamson Murray (eds.), Military Effectiveness, Vol. I: The First World War (Cambridge 2010) pp249-328 p256 Yanushkevich apparently played only a minor role in the opening campaigns of the war.

"As every journalist will confirm," Malcolm writes, :"MacDonald's uninterestingness is not unusual at all...When a journalist fetches up against someone like [him], all he can do is flee and hope that a more suitable subject will turn up soon. In the MacDonald- McGinniss case we have an instance of a journalist who apparently found out too late that the subject of his book was not up to scratch—not a member of the wonderful race of auto-fictionalizers, like Joseph Mitchell's Joe Gould and Truman Capote's Perry Smith, on whom the 'non-fiction novel' depends for its life...The solution that McGinniss arrived at for dealing with MacDonald's characterlessness was not a satisfactory one, but it had to do."Malcolm, pp. 71–73. In Malcolm's depiction, it was in order to conceal this deficit that McGinniss turned to social treatises like Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism.
