If you're around Dublin next Tuesday November, drop in to Connolly Books from 7pm for an important talk on Lenin and why you should actually read about his life and ideas.
We have special gues US-based socialist activist and acclaimed historian Paul le Blanc on his new book "Lenin - Responding to catastrophe, forging revolution", followed by an interview and Q&A session hosted by Rupture radio podcast. There will be an opportunity to buy the book and get it signed by the author on the night as well.
Paul has written extensively on the history of the labour and socialist movements of the United States and Europe, including books on Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg and the importance of revolutionary organisation. His latest book has been described as "crackling with intellectual life" by Lars T. Lih, and Ian Angus editor of 'Climate and Capital' has said:
"'This fresh and nuanced examination … is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Lenin's historical role and his relevance to today's movements for transformative change."
