A portrait of Lenin, intended to redress an imbalance between his worshippers and his enemies, by "delving into Lenin's deepest preoccupations. Is terrorism ever a viable strategy? Is support for imperial wars ever justified? Can politics be made without a party? Was the seizure of power in October 1917 morally justified? Could the bureaucracy neuter the aims of the Revolution?"
