An Informational Book About Lenin
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a very informational book about Lenin. It is told in the third person form and describes Lenin's aspect of life. It shows him as a Russian hero and an American fear. I suggest this book to anyone that is doing a report on him. It gives more information than neccasery. The only drawback is on some topics it won't give many details.
