Reviews

[Andrea Bauer · Rating 4 out of 5]

A detailed look at Lenin's final thinking about subjects such as the rights of national minorities, how best to organize the Soviet economy, and the danger of a growing bureaucracy in the party and the state with Stalin rising to its head.

Would be a five-star read except the editing -- the interstitial explanatory text between the various writings by Lenin and Trotsky -- could have been more helpful.
