Lenin - biography of lenin

[abstractmentality]

Im going to buy biographies on both Marx and Lenin relatively soon, and i was wondering if anyone of you could recommend a certain biography that stood out as the best biography on either of them. Thanx.

abstract, there is abook about lenin simple title, Lenin, it is a big red book its about 34 u.s dollas, it is enormous about 800 pages but it is the best bio of the man u will get. as for marx i dont know of any, personally im not interested in his personal life, if your just looking for a book which will give u a better idea of his ideas, jus pick up, CAPITAL. peace

Thanx DaNatural. I have seen the Lenin book you mentioned, and that was the one i was thinking about getting.

The best source I could find eas "Memories about Lenin",but this the russian edition and I don't know if it's of any help for you. It has 5 volumes, totalising 5000 pages of material..It's printed by the institute of marxism-leninism in Moscow. I raed part of it in roumanian, as it was translated 30 years ago.

How come when I asked this question I didn't get one single reply, and abstract asks it and he gets 3 good ones.

Die.

Has ny1 one read the Lenin bio by robert service and if so can you give me some feedback on wether or not it is good enough to purchase and read?

[Conghaileach]

I haven't read the one by Robert Service (I think that's the big red one they're talking about above) myself, but I've been told that he is a right winger.
