  • Lenin a Revolutionary Life
    lenin ‘An excellent biography, which captures the real Lenin – part intel- lectual professor, part ruthless and dogmatic politician.’ Geoffrey Swain, University of the West of England ‘A fascinating book about a gigantic historical figure. Christopher Read is an accomplished scholar and superb writer who has pro- duced a first-rate study that is courageous, original in its insights, and deeply humane.’ Daniel Orlovsky, Southern Methodist University Vladimir Il’ich Ulyanov, known as Lenin was an enigmatic leader, a resolute and audacious politician who had an immense impact on twentieth-century world history. Lenin’s life and career have been at the centre of much ideological debate for many decades. The post-Soviet era has seen a revived interest and re-evaluation of the Russian Revolution and Lenin’s legacy. This new biography gives a fresh and original account of Lenin’s personal life and political career. Christopher Read draws on a broad range of primary and secondary sources, including material made available in the glasnost and post-Soviet eras. Focal points of this study are Lenin’s revolutionary ascetic personality; how he exploited culture, education and propaganda; his relationship to Marxism; his changing class analysis of Russia; and his ‘populist’ instincts. This biography is an excellent and reliable introduction to one of the key figures of the Russian Revolution and post-Tsarist Russia. Christopher Read is Professor of Modern European History at the University of Warwick. He is author of From Tsar to Soviets: The Russian People and Their Revolution, 1917–21 (1996), Culture and Power in Revolutionary Russia (1990) and The Making and Breaking of the Soviet System (2001).

    1 Oppenheim , Moshe (Moshe Op) Born 25 December 1926 in Niederohle, Germany Made Aliya in 1939 Joined the Palmach in 1943 Joined the Palyam in 1945 This is the Way it Was The episode of the weapons of “J” Company, HaPortzim Battalion, Harel Brigade The story starts with a prelude… I made Aliya from Germany when I was 13 years old. This was just three months after the start of World War II. I arrived in Haifa on December 20, 1939. My brother, who was three years older than I, made Aliya three months earlier within the framework of Youth Aliya. My parents and two sisters were killed by the Germans, but this only became known to me some time later. In 1940 I was accepted as a student in the Max Fein Technical High School in Tel Aviv and started to learn metalworking. In 1941-42 there seemed to be a danger that the Germans might invade Palestine from the direction of Egypt and the sea, under the command of Field Marshal Rommel. I was a bit young but enlisted with almost the whole class, in the Hagana. I swore my loyalty to a fellow called Al Dema in the Borochov quarter of Givataim. Al Dema was the director of the Herzliya Gymnasium in Tel Aviv. We began training, with light weapons during the day and had field practice on Saturdays. We often stood watch at strategic locations to make certain that the Germans didn't try to land paratroopers there. The peak of our service was during the vacation period of the summer of 1942 when we were taken to an English camp at Tel Litvinsky and swore our loyalty to the English monarch.
