Description: "From the author of The Sealed Train and Those Damned Rebels comes the biography of Inessa Armand: revolutionary, tactician, and confidante and mistress of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Although she is little known today, after the October Revolution in 1917, Armand became the most powerful woman in Moscow." "Michael Pearson, with access to family papers (including 150 letters from Lenin to Armand), previously censored materials from Russian archives, and interviews with Inessa Armand's descendants, brings her to life with precision and insight - as a wife and devoted mother, political standard-bearer, and woman in love."--BOOK JACKET.
