Overview

Beryl Williams' new book provides an introduction to Lenin and his role in the Russian Revolution. An objective account of his years in power between 1917 and 1924, it is written in the light of new documents made available since the Gorbachev era and the end of the Soviet Union. This book provides an up-to-date evaluation of: Lenin's life and thoughts and the importance of ideology in both; the cultural revolution; Lenin's foreign policy and expansionism; and Lenin's cult and the re-evaluation of his legacy that has taken place during the last decade.
