LENIN: The Man Who Lit the Fuse is the explosive true story of how one man hijacked a crumbling empire, rewired history in blood and steel, and vanished into a myth that still haunts the planet. From the 1905 revolution to the Red Terror, from exile to empire, from bulletproof theory to flesh-and-blood consequences—this is Lenin without euphemism. Visionary and vicious. Strategic and ruthless. Less a man than a detonation. He didn’t just change Russia. He lit the fuse for everything that came after.

This book unpacks how one man faced the British Empire—the most powerful force on Earth—armed only with truth, hunger strikes, and a refusal to play by the rules. It’s not a worship piece. Gandhi wasn’t perfect.

Everett Koop to be Surgeon General of the United States in 1981, liberal politicians, women's groups, and even the public health community opposed the nomination because of his conservative social views and strong anti-abortion beliefs.
