Ken Carroll, Jacket design and Martin Streetly, Train illustration (illustrator). When revolution broke out in Russia in March 1912, Lenin, after years in exile, was living in poverty in a Zurich garret, the leader of an extremist following even within Russia. Only 34 weeks later he had assumed the rule of 160 million people occupying one-sixth of the inhabited surface of the globe. This book is the story of those crucial weeks. It describes in greater detail than ever before Lenin's dramatic journey across Germany with 30 comrades in the famous train. It was the only way that he could reach Russia to exploit the new conditions that had emerged with the fall of the Tsar. It was the only way, too, that the Germans could exploit Lenin's pacifist policies to end the fighting on the Eastern Front and free a million troops to reinforce their armies in France. This book probes the whole background of the Germans long-prepared plan to use Lenin that included financing him on a vast scale. The book jacket shows some wear from use and has a tear on the front cover. The book binding is tight and the pages are clean and free of any markings and highlighting.
