Specifications
Almost two decades have passed since the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the USSR. Robert Service, one of the leading historians on modern Russia, examines the trajectory of communism globally.
Based on a wealth of sources, he offers a human perspective of History as well as a comprehensive analysis. The book moves from Marx and Lenin to Mao and Castro, vividly presenting the portraits of the key figures and the events that played a decisive role in the history of communism.
Service analyzes the policies of communist regimes and the social conditions that led millions to embrace communism. He studies the governments in Yugoslavia and Cuba, focuses on revolutions, such as in Hungary in 1919, and examines the communist organization, ideology, and allure.
He concludes that, although communism in its original form no longer exists, the poverty and injustice that made its rise possible are undeniable conditions and thus capable of fostering the emergence of other potential saviors of the people in the future.
With great writing and a structured argumentation, this book serves as a profound lesson in History, essential for any library.
