About Book
"This is a one-volume, concise study of Lenin and his role in the Russian Revolution. It concentrates on his years in power between 1917 and 1924. The book draws on recent historical work in Russia and the West, and makes use of new documents made available since the Gorbachev era and the end of the Soviet Union."--BOOK JACKET.

Lenin exercised power for only a short time, from late 1917 to early 1923. And yet the system he founded, beginning with just a few thousand agitators, extended its influence far into the 20th century and far outside Russia. D'Encausse seeks to help remove Lenin from the ideological passions that his memory still stirs up in order to situate him in the larger history of a century that was dominated by his ideas and will. D'Encausse has written extensively about Russian, Soviet, and Slavic history. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
