V.I. Lenin

Lenin - by Tony Cliff

Tony Cliff

This significant biography of V.I.Lenin was published in four volumes between 1975 and 1979. The present online edition is in three volumes, and is taken from the second edition printing of the 1980s.

While the first volume is available in its entirety, thanks to Haymarket Press, the painstaking task of digitising the other two volumes is barely begun, and the content is therefore patchy.

Cliff's Lenin reflects the former's mature thought on the question of revolutionary organisation, as well as the standard IS Tradition view on certain key events in Russian Revolutionary history. Enjoy.

Volume 1: Building the Party, 1893-1914

Volume 2: All Power to the Soviets, 1914-1917

Volume 3: The Revolution Besieged, 1917-1923
