Lénine, 1917: Le train de la révolution (Histoire) by Catherine Merridale

4.0

A truly lovely slice of Lenin's life and an excellent biography that is marred by a final chapter that stretches to find relevance against the present day Russia and unnecessarily rails against the present Russian regime. Any reader who has picked up a newspaper in the past 2-3 years could've drawn many of the same conclusions in a far less forceful manner. An ungraceful ending to an otherwise deserving book.
