Opis

'Conspirator' is the compelling story of Lenin's exile: the years in which he and his political collaborators plotted a revolution that would change 20th-century history. It tells the story of Lenin in the long and difficult years leading up to the Russian Revolution.

Recenzje

Vivid ... Lenin's ruthless determination to seize power in October 1917 probably owed much to his awareness that he had but one chance to escape the world of paranoia and conspiracy in which he had operated for so long, and that Rappaport evokes so successfully. Nick Rennison Sunday Times
