This first full-length treatment of Lenin's studies of Hegel presents Lenin as a major figure in Hegelian Marxism, providing a more nuanced portrait of his work than that of either official Marxist-Leninism or most Western accounts.       "With impressive argumentation        and wide-ranging scholarship, Anderson presents us with a Lenin that no        one seriously interested in current debates over the relevance of Marxist        theory to socialist practice can afford to miss." -- Bertell Ollman,        author of Dialectical Investigations      "An important contribution        to grasping the conceptual roots of Marxist theory and practice."        -- Tom Rockmore, author of Hegel's Circular Epistomology      "Today Lenin looks like        he did little more than prepare the way for Stalin. You will find the        opposite view in this novel study. . . . I recommend the book to anyone        seriously interested in Russia and revolution." -- George Uri Fischer,        author of The Soviet System and Modern Society ÂÂ

Lenin
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.
