Scott "Faeelin" Blair has just brought my attention to Lenin Lives!: Reimagining the Russian Revolution 1917-2017 by Philip Cunliffe, a book that explores an ATL in which Communism successfully spreads outside of Russia during Lenin's lifetime and actually lives up to its utopian premises. Since there are few commercial works of AH that embrace an openly Marxist reading of history, I'm curious about this one. If somebody here happens to have read it, a review would be appreciated, if only to make sure that the author doesn't let his political ideals get in the way of the story--if this is simply the left-wing answer to L. Neil Smith's Objectivist author tracts, then it's a wasted opportunity.
