Adam B. Ulam presents a penetrating portrait of Vladimir Lenin — his formidable intellect, his uncompromising will, and his singular ability to forge a disciplined revolutionary party from the fractious landscape of Russian radicalism. With scholarly rigor and narrative authority, Ulam details how Lenin's adaptation of Marxism — stripping it of its democratic impulses and recasting it as a vanguard ideology — made the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 not merely possible, but perhaps inevitable. The work argues that the triumph of communism in Russia was less a product of historical forces than of one man's extraordinary capacity to bend those forces to his vision. Authoritative, deeply researched, and compellingly written, this remains one of the definitive accounts of how a small, fanatical party remade the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887891755227,"sku":"2026200007252-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8d2474f1-01dd-4ca7-9b01-594eb5481885.png?v=1781748010","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007252-secondhand-lenin-and-the-bolsheviks-the-intellectual-and-political-history-of-the-triumph-of-communism-in-russia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
