The subject of "Detente, Democracy and Dictatorship" has been
with us since the breakdown of the Cold War and the termination of
the Soviet system, indeed, if not since the origins of Bolshevism.
No more vigorous critic of the uneasy co-existence of democracy and
dictatorship exists than the greatest writer that the Soviet era of
Russian history produced, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
This third edition is based on major addresses, especially aimed
at Americans, delivered in 1975 in Washington, D.C. and New York,
and again, in 1978, at Harvard University in Cambridge, all on the
subject of detente, democracy and dictatorship. It also includes
Solzhenitsyn's final 2007 interview with the German publication
"Der Spiegel."
These major statements are brilliant and forthright comment on
the risks of confusing ideology with diplomacy. But more than that,
they summarize the Soviet debacle, the theoretical underpinnings,
and distill Solzhenitsyn's multi-volumed masterpiece, the "Gulag
Archipelago."
