Conspirator: Lenin in Exile

Conspirator: Lenin in Exile

The father of Communist Russia, Vladimir Ilych Lenin now seems to have emerged fully formed in the turbulent wake ofWorldWar I and the Russian Revolution. But Leninâ€™s character was in fact forged much earlier, over the course of years spent in exile, constantly on the move, and in disguise.
In Conspirator, Russian historian Helen Rappaport narrates the compelling story of Leninâ€™s life and political activities in the years leading up to the revolution. As he scuttled between the glittering capital cities of EuropeÂ—from London and Munich to Vienna and PragueÂ—Lenin found support among fellow Ã©migrÃ©s and revolutionaries in the underground movement. He came to lead a ring of conspirators, many of whom would give their lives in service to his schemes.
A riveting account of Leninâ€™s little-known early life, Conspirator tracks in gripping detail the formation of one of the great revolutionaries of the twentieth century.
