'Immensely scholarly but also vivid and readableThis is a splendid book, much the best that I have ever read about Lenin...I was overwhelmed by the power and vividness of this portrait.' Dominic Lieven, Sunday Telegraph; 'He has managed skilfully to depict the surreal life of an obsessive, brilliant and stubborn individual' Guardian; 'Lenin's life was politics, but Service has succeeded in keeping Lenin the man in focus throughout... This book deserves a place among the best studies of one of the most fascinating figures in modern history' Harold Shukman, The Times
