Peasant intellectuals
This is a pretty interesting book, but there are no revelatory moments of philosophical insight. In short, at the outbreak of WWI, Lenin - usually known for his Political Savvy - retreated to privation, to read Hegel's logic. He emerged a phoenix. In this book Anderson details how Lenin understood Hegel, and began to break with second international/Engelsian Marxism. Despite my respect for Engels, his influence on Marxism has always been negative. Lenin began to develop the thought process now known as Western Marxism from his readings of Hegel, and Lukacs grabbed the torch from Lenin's hand and ran the rest of the marathon. So interesting book if you're interested in a very narrow topic: Lenin's reading of Hegel.
That said, Anderson as an actual writer deserves 5 stars, and I intend to purchase his other books on Marxism.
