      From acclaimed historian Victor Sebestyen comes a new life of the creator of the world's first communist state.

      ''A fresh, powerful portrait of Lenin'' Anne Applebaum, author of Red Famine
      ''Richly readable ... An enthralling but appalling story'' Francis Wheen, author of Karl Marx

      The cold, one-dimensional figure of Lenin the political fanatic is only a partial truth. Drawing on extensive material that has only recently become available, Sebestyen''s gripping biography casts an intriguing new light on the character behind the politics.

      In reality, Lenin was a man who loved nature as much as he loved making revolution, and his closest relationships were with women. He built a state based on terror. But he was a highly emotional man given to furious rages and deep passions. While never ignoring the politics, Sebestyen examines Lenin''s inner life, his relationship with his wife and his long love affair with Inessa Armand, the most romantic and beguiling of Bolsheviks. These two women were as significant as the men - Stalin or Trotsky - who created the world''s first Communist state with him.
