Soviet Tragedy, The: A History of Socialism in Russia, 1917 - 1991

An essential coda to the literature of Soviet studies - returns the power of ideology to its central place in Soviet history.

One critic wrote, "This is history at a high level, well deployed factually, but particularly worthwhile in the philosphical and political context-at once a view and an overview."

Another critic wrote,"The Soviet Tragedy offers the most thorough scholarly analysis of the Communist phenomenon that we are likely to get for a long while to come. On this breathtaking journey, the author is a witty and often brillently penetrating guide. He has much wisdom to impact."
