In this volume, comprising the four works generally considered his most important publications, Lenin presents the goals and tactics of Communism with remarkable directness and forcefulness. \n\u003cbr\u003eHis first major work was \n\u003ci\u003eThe Development of Capitalism in Russia, \u003c\/i\u003ewritten in prison after Lenin had been arrested for anti-government activities in 1895. Represented here by key sections, the book developed a number of crucial concepts, including the significance of the industrial proletariat as a revolutionary base. \n\u003ci\u003eWhat Is to Be Done?\u003c\/i\u003e, long regarded as the key manual of Communist action, is presented complete, containing Lenin's famous dissection of the Western idea of the political party along with his own concept of a monolithic party organization devoted to achieving the goal of dictatorship of the proletariat. Also presented complete is \n\u003ci\u003eImperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, \u003c\/i\u003e in which Lenin examines the final \"parasitic\" stage of capitalism. Finally, this volume includes the complete text of \n\u003ci\u003eThe State and Revolution, \u003c\/i\u003e Lenin's most significant work, in which he totally rejects the institutions of Western democracy and presents his vision of the final perfection of Communism. \n\u003cbr\u003eFor anyone who seeks to understand the twentieth century, capitalism, the Russian revolution, and the role of Communism in the tumultuous political and social movements that have shaped the modern world, the essential works of Lenin offer unparalleled insight and understanding. Taken together, they represent a balanced cross-section of this revolutionary theories of history, politics, and economics; his tactics for securing and retaining power; and his vision of a new social and economic order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1987-05-01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Political Science \/ Political Ideologies \/ Radicalism|Social Science \/ General|Political Science \/ Political Ideologies \/ Communism, Post-Communism \u0026amp; Socialism|History \/ Revolutions, Uprisings \u0026amp; Rebellions|History \/ Russia \/ General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Socialism|State, The|Revolutions|Capitalism|Imperialism|Soviet Union|Rossiiskaeiia soetisial-demokraticheskaeiia r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486253336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486253336\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52371812778265,"sku":"SP-9780486253336","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780486253336_spiral.png?v=1778436579","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/essential-works-of-lenin-what-is-to-be-done-and-other-writings-revised","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
