'...especially valuable to university students just coming to the various disputes and controversies that eddy around Lenin and his achievements.' - Choice 'This European History in Perspective series is a good one...This book provides a convincing set of backed up arguments, to take some of the myth out of the story of Lenin as a revolutionary thinker and tactician.' - Andrew Hunt, History Teaching Review Yearbook 'Combines what Lenin thought with what he did in an exemplary manner.' - Professor Paul Dukes, University of Aberdeen 'An excellent introduction to Lenin's life and thought. Good supplementary reading for my courses on Russia.' - E.A. Swift, University of Essex
