Philip Cunliffe is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent, which he joined in 2009. He has written widely on a variety of political issues ranging from Balkan politics to Brexit, with a particular focus on international efforts to manage violent conflict since the end of the Cold War.
'Lenin Lives!' is erudite and imaginative - grounded in a profound
and humane understanding of all the different conflicts at play in
the world of 1917, Cunliffe soars above us to show a 2017 that
might have been, if the revolutionaries had won out a hundred years
before. 'We are all in the gutter, ' said Oscar Wilde, 'but some of
us are looking at the stars' - and Philip Cunliffe gives us a great
account of both.--James Heartfield, author of Unpatriotic History
of the Second World War
What if the hopes of the Russian Revolution had been realised?
Setting out from this question Cunliffe shines a great deal of new
critical light on our times. Hugely thought-provoking and
entertaining. Full of contentious ideas and stimulating insights. A
firecracker of a book.--Sean Sayers, Emeritus Professor of
Philosophy, University of Kent
