...Days That Shook the World," a highly sympathetic treatment of the revolution, attracted glowing praise from Lenin, who wrote in a preface to the book's first edition in 1923, "Unreservedly I recommend it to the workers of the world...a truthful and most vivid exposition of the events so significant...to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat...
...court appearance was the high point of a triumphant tour of Warsaw by the Gdansk electrician who became a national folk hero as the leader of the legendary Lenin Shipyard strike. Walesa began the morning with a 9 o'clock Mass at the Church of the Holy Cross, where three days earlier, regular radio broadcasts of the Roman Catholic Mass had resumed following a 41-year blackout.

Pledged Walesa to a rising cheer: "We cannot lose...

In the same way, the RCP may be judged by the actions of past adherents of its ideology. McKibben noted the volumes by Lenin and Stalin in the RCP offices. Although promoting an "altruistic" philosophy, these men caused far more death, persecution, and agony than the Klan ever will...
