Lenin

The New American Library, in its continual endeavor to publish the best reading for every taste and mood, is particularly proud to bring before a large new audience this instructive penetrating and timely analysis of Lenin, the man whose thoughts and actions best personify the whole sweep - implacable and tragic - of Russia Today. The thoughtful reader will discover three levels to Mr. Shub's the turbulent life of Lenin himself; a short pertinent history of Russia before and after the Revolution of 1917; and the ideological growth of those ideas and policies that have culminated in what the Western world now refers to as Communism.
