You're right that my knowledge is somewhat thin about the various kvosts (Georgian etc.) in the circa 1917 USSR power struggle and the exact role played by Churchill, but that was a side discussion, hardly central to the Libertarian issue, where simply my image of a Individual actually true to Lib principles would be Ron Paul, while others kept trying to ridiculously shove the Koch Brothers down my throat. But I'm interested in filling in the gaps in my understanding of that history, particularly one that's not "kosher approved". How about suggesting a source?
It was your other critic who cited the Libertarian issue. I was strictly critiquing from a revisionist p.o.v. As an aside I will add that Ron Paul was someone I liked during his tenure. Maybe I even voted for him once.
When it comes to WW2 revisionist history, Mike King's The Bad War is the easiest to tackle. Unfortunately it's banned by Amazon. The style is not academic, which may or may not appeal,so be forewarned. There are other historians and other publications more intellectually demanding. The Barnes Review is also an easy read magazine, which began w/ WW2 criticism, but now covers the gamut of controversial historical events.

Thank you. I''ll look around; anything banned by Amazon likely has some countercultural value.
