Now in paperback, this reveals how Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was sent home from Switzerland in 1917 in a sealed train, by the German government. They hoped this would sow confusion in Russia and break the stalemate of the ongoing war, but they weren't prepared for what happened next. Published to coincide with the centenary of the Russian Revolution.
