LENIN
LENIN
The Man Who Lit the Fuse
by James Johnson
Dedication
For every idea dangerous enough to change the world—
and every mind sharp enough to aim it.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO THE WRITERS who lit my fuse —
your books rewired my brain before I even knew it was happening.
To the thinkers, rebels, critics, and survivors of systems they didn’t build —
you’re the reason these stories still matter.
And to the ones who read this and feel something ignite —
don’t let it go out.
