I picked up Enemy at the Gate by Andrew Wheatcroft a little while ago, and it seemed like a pretty decent, balanced view of the Siege of Vienna.

Does anyone have additional recommendations for Renaissance history like that?

Also, what are the views of people who know more than I do about Roger Crowley as an author/historian? I'm interested in both Lepanto and the siege of Constantiople, but something about the titles/summaries just seems...off, somehow.

Could anyone give me a recommendation for a biography of Lenin? I've realized I know very little about him.
