<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Lars T. Lih revolutionizes the conventional interpretation of Lenin's classic, included here in an authoritative new translation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"What Is to Be Done?" has long been interpreted as evidence of Lenin's "elitist" attitude toward workers. Lih uses a wide range of previously unavailable contextual sources to fundamentally overturn this reading of history's most misunderstood revolutionary text. He argues that Lenin's polemic must be seen within the context of a rising worker's movement in Russia, and shows that Lenin's perspective fit squarely within the mainstream of the socialist movement of his time.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lars T. Lih is the editor of Stalin's Letters to Molotov, the author of Bread and Authority in Russia 1914-1921. He has taught political science at Wellesley College and currently teaches at the McGill School of Music in Montréal.
