Men and Their Times; Lenin & the Russian Revolution By Christopher Hill

Publisher's Synopsis

This book attempts and assessment of the place of Lenin, and of the revolution which was his life's work in history: an ambitious enough task in all conscience.  The author has selected for more detailed treatment those aspects of Lenin's activity and thought, and those achievements of the revolution which seem to him to have more than local significance. The Bolshevik party itself, on account of the features which differentiate it from other socialist parties; the agrarian policy of this party in a country were peasants formed 80% of the population; the political philosophy which inspired the revolution and the Soviet state; Lenin's critique of imperialism and his definition of the national and international policy which the rulers of the Soviet state should pursue  -these are the subjects without some consideration of which it is impossible to come to any understanding of the Russian revolution.  Mr Christopher Hill is Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and has written on the English Revolution of the 17th century.
