Lenin’s passionate and persuasive writing style makes this book a compelling read for anyone interested in revolutionary politics and Marxist theory. Vladimir Lenin, a revolutionary leader and theorist, was deeply committed to the cause of proletarian revolution. As a key figure in the Bolshevik party, Lenin played a pivotal role in the Russian Revolution of 1917.
