Hopefully, this will change in the future. If you are looking for a good book on the Russian Civil War that will cover the Polish invasion, etc, try Mawdsley's "The Russian Civil War."T.

The Poles also enlisted the help of Petlura, a Ukrainian nationalist, to help fight the Red Army. <BR/><BR/>In regards to Lenin and his beliefs, as I pointed out, there were those who did want to expand the Revolution.
