Description: "And God Created Lenin, based on over two hundred sources, is a narrative that digs deep into the conflict between Lenin's overly logical drive to stamp out religion and the Christian churches' passionate attempts to save themselves from obliteration. This work of history and religion looks at both sides objectively and admits that each side was partially justified."--BOOK JACKET.
