Synopsis
This major new text provides a comprehensive, critical introduction to Leninism as an ideology. Part One presents a new and challenging account of its emergence arguing that it was frozen in the time-frame of the extraordinary war years 1914-1917. Part Two explores the inter-weaving of economics, history and philosophy in Lenin's world view concluding that, along with Marxism, it combines powerful internal coherence with fateful ambiguity towards democracy and the autonomy of politics. A detailed Guide to Lenin's Collected Works features among extensive Appendices.

Review
"This extensively researched and eloquently written work serves as a review of Lenin's thought and a summary of Harding's distinctive interpretation of Lenin's ideas. The central thesis of the book is that Leninism as an ideological system took shape during the period from 1914 to 1917, under the influence of World War I."
--Alfred B. Evans Jr.," Slavic Review"
From the Back Cover
