Catherine Merridale, 2017
In 1917, as the European war raged, a German government plan sought to destabilize Russia by facilitating Vladimir Lenin's return from exile. Catherine Merridale's "Lenin on the Train" chronicles this remarkable journey from neutral Switzerland, through a war-ravaged Germany, to Lenin's eventual arrival in Petrograd. The book interweaves the story of this unique train voyage and its passengers with the narrative of the Russian Revolution.
