“Antony Beevor is a British historian, and a good one. He has written several histories, mostly military history, and he tends to be very objective in his writing, which too many historians today are not. If you enjoy reading history, especially military history, I recommend Beevor’s books. One of his books is simply entitled Russia, where he examines the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Bolshevik takeover of that country. The book, as you would expect, contains much information about the ideas of Vladimir Lenin, the first dictator of ‘the new Russia’ (eventually USSR), and Beevor’s analysis of Lenin is excellent. Let me share with you three quotes from Beevor’s book about Lenin (about Lenin’s leftist, communist philosophy), and you compare any parallels between Lenin and today’s American Democratic Party.” (10/23/25)
