Lenin: A Revolutionary Life
Paperback
(Routledge June 15, 2005)
From a highly distinguished author on the subject, this biography is an excellent scholarly introduction to one of the key figures of the Russian Revolution and post-Tsarist Russia. Not only does it make use of archive material made newly available in the glasnost and post-Soviet eras, it re-examines traditional sources as well, providing an original interpretation of Lenin's life and historical importance.
Focal points of this study are:
- Lenin's revolutionary ascetic personality
- how he exploited culture, education and propaganda
- his relationship to Marxism
- his changing class analysis of Russia
- his 'populist' instincts.
A prominent figure at the forefront of debates on the Russina revolution, Read makes sure that Lenin remains in his place as a highly influential and significant figure of the recent past.
