About the book
Narrates the extraordinary journey of Vladimir Lenin across Europe in 1917, during the First World War, when he traveled sealed inside a train from Zurich to St. Petersburg. Catherine Merridale reconstructs, with historical precision and engaging narrative, the days preceding the October Revolution and how this singular logistical displacement would change the course of world history, transforming Lenin from an exile into an outlaw into a revolutionary leader.
By combining meticulous research with vivid prose, the British historian offers a fresh perspective on one of the most turbulent moments of the 20th century, revealing the diplomatic and political intrigues that made that legendary train journey possible.
