In Lukács’ elegantly crafted, concise and accessible account, Lenin emerges as the consummate dialectician, the “theoretician of practice and the practitioner of theory.”

Lenin: A Study in the Unity of His Thought

I really enjoyed this short, reasonably accessible (if you can forgive the slightly dated 1920s Marxist prose - everything is *concrete*) text.  Brilliant introduction to Leninist dialectics as a mode of thought, as opposed to a set of prescriptions. There's nothing in here about how you to organise your party or how to sell your newspaper, but lot's about how to engage analytically with your circumstances and translate that analysis into practical action.  Would recommend.
